[DML] Door Lock Solenoids

["sweetp01569" <paul.sweet@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My car still have the original door lock electric components.  They 
are still connected to electrically lock or unlock both door when I 
only operate the drivers side lock.  I also have the dash light 
indicator that says "Lock Doors".  I hear that this arrangement can 
result with possibly locking me inside or out of my car.  Should I 
disconnect the circuit that controls this?  If I do, how do my locks 
work after this - one by one, and does the dash light not operate 
after this.

I had my door panel off once to work on a window, but could smell 
that very familiar "burnt" wire smell inside.  Not sure if it was 
from the previous owner replacing the window motor, or perhaps it is 
the door solenoid working too hard.  I am just curious as to what is 
recommended for the door lock situation.  I do like the electrical 
operation, but if it is safer for me to use manually, I will.

Thanks,

Paul
