RE: [DML] Door Lock Solenoids

["John Hervey" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Paul,
In the door lock module are two relays that normally don't get replaced. If
all the door mechanism is working properly, clean and not binding and the
adjustments are all ok, then replace the module relays, replace the circuit
breaker with a 15 amp and don't lock the car from the inside and I never had
any trouble with mine for 3 years until I sold 11004. If you need the module
repaired, it's $35.00.

Subject: [DML] Door Lock Solenoids


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
