Re: [DML] Door Lock Module - some technical musings...

Martin, I spent a little time with the door lock module, but all I have had 
trouble with was the door lock when used inside the car. I had determined it 
was the linkage and all the mechanical things going on. I have never had 
trouble when locking from the outside. Your correct about the arching, most 
people don't know there are relay's inside the module that should be replaced 
due to the arching. If you will look on my web site, I have original relays 
and replacement just like you may have. Bosch told me they were the same 
40amp but rated different in certain applications. As far as the circuit 
breaker, If you will put a 10 or 15 amp breaker in, then if it hangs up, you 
won't burn up something waiting on the breaker to trip. I run 10 amp in mine 
with no trouble and when I simulated the problem, it tripped quick. No 
burning up the module or wires.I never had the time yet to make the mod's in 
the archive but they looked good. I would like to know how it turnes out.
