Re: [DMCForum] locks left/right

[Chris Almy <chris.almy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Did you try driving both at the same time? Mine would still work 
individually, but when both were powered at the same time (via the lock 
module), the bad one wouldn't get enough power to operate. Even though the 
solenoid was bad due to the melted windings, there would be enough to still 
operate if it got enough current.

If both work when powered together, the wiper switch inside the passenger 
door could be dirty. When the passenger door is locked, it might not be 
grounding the lock signal. So the controller isn't even trying to lock the 
doors. Do you hear clicking from the Lockzilla when you lock the door? If 
not, I would clean the switch.

If it's still not working, let me know. There are still other parts that 
could be wrong. But the solenoid and switch are the most likely to cause this.
