Hello All,
Don't come on here much because the whip runs pretty good. However, it recently does strange things with the alarm/lock remote when trying to use the fob. Strange as in the door lock indicator on the drivers side will not go down all the way when pressing the button on the fob, rendering the alarm useless. Locking feature works fine when key is used. Any ideas?
THANKS,
Chuck

Try working the locks several times..... lock/unlock, then see if the lock works normal (for a short time)

Could indicate weak acuator. Pretty common on 7th gens.

Thank you Craig. I'll try it but I bet it's the actuator.

Hey All,
I replaced the actuator but still a no go. My father believes it is something in the wiring passing through the dash and going into the door. Unbelievable bs as I may have to leave it be and classify this as "unsolvable".

Check the wires in the door harness, they like to break where they flex in the door jamb

Ill see what it looks like in there. If its not viewable in the rubber boot I'm done.

I have had a couple of instances of wire repair in the driver's door hinge area but for non-operable power windows. It is a common repair on these vehicles as they age.
