Ok, I have been having issues with the door unlocking by themselves for awhile now. I will lock them, the alarm will activate and I will leave. When I return (sometimes as quick as 5 mins, sometimes hours) the locks will be open and the alarm will be off.
First, should the key manually lock the doors even if the power lock system is unplugged? I took out the control unit, but the doors wouldn't lock with the key.
Second, is there any way to test the lock control unit? When I have it out, nothing works, as I would guess. I'm not sure if the control unit is the reason for the issues though.
So far I have switched the driver side microswitch and made sure the door contact switches work (ones that tell the car if the door is open). The PO had a keyless system, that when my issue started I had removed (but I can't say the wiring is perfectly back to OEM). I have heard there is a relay for the locks, but I can't find it (looked over all the labeled relays and don't see one for the locks). Any suggestions on what I can do next? I am willing to buy a new control unit, but if that doesn't fix it I just wasted a lot of money and still have the issue.
Any thought? PLEASE!
Thank you!
