My door locks seem to work when the want. All4 actuators have been replaced with newer furd version. I am thinking a relay of some sort, anyone know where it/they are located?

If it is a relay, PITA. you have to remove the radio. There is a relay panel with three or four relays on it. In the center right about where the floorboard meets the firewall. One of those relays is the door lock relay. Try wiggling the relays first, maybe a bad contact. Also, one of my door lock switches is going bad. Need to hit it numerous times to get it to work.

Do youre remote locks work? That would weed out the possibility of a bad switch. :D

The remote lock function would weed out the bad relay, not switch.

If the auto door locks work great then that would tell you that the relay is fine and it's probably a switch. If the auto door locks don't work then that would tell me it's not a switch but probably a relay.

Locks wont work with the switches or the aftermarket entry (python security) I will check out the relay.

I have been opening my doors with a key for over a year and it is because the VSM is out on it you might want to check your GEM.

Gem it is what controls your door locks and a few other items.
GEM If I remember right stands for generic electronic module.

Thanks for reminding me about injectors I wrote that guy about the injectors and he read it but never wrote back to me oh well now I will just get a TN BB need that more anyways.
