Allpar Mod Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 (edited) Ok, this one is about as bizarre as I've dealt with yet. If it is unusual or just plain weird, it'll happen to me. My '99 OBW developed a problem today and I'm stumped. When you turn the ignition off, all of the power door locks all snap locked and the switches become inoperable. You have to unlock the car from the inside with the manual toggles. Turn the ignition on and everything works just fine while the ignition is on. Shut the car off and it happens again. I checked all the fuses under the dash and under the hood and all look good. No other vehicle systems are malfunctioning at all. Everything works just fine. Right now, I have to make sure I carry an extra key in my pocket if I get out at a gas station or the like and leave the keys in the car so I'm not locked out. Pain in the butt!!!! I'm at a total loss. Edited February 24, 2010 by Allpar Mod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cougar Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I have to think one of the door lock switches is stuck in the lock position. The switch for key lock could be the culprit also. Try disconnecting the switches inside the driver side door and see if the trouble clears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allpar Mod Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 Well, I started off for work this am and lo and behold, the locks went back to working normally. They are now back to normal. I don't understand, but am glad still. Maybe it was the good karma from here that scared the gremlin out of my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Glad to hear its working ok. I still think the trouble is with a switch in the door. Don't be surprised if the trouble comes back again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
