I'm having a problem on my '02 where the power door locks intermittently won't unlock. Sometimes it works fine for months and other times it doesn't work for months. They always seem to lock fine.
They won't unlock with remote so I manually open driver or passenger door with key. Then have to fiddle with the button on the door locking/unlocking a few times before they unlock. I can hear they sound like they are trying to unlock, but they don't.
When I had my new remote start/keyless entry installed, the technician noted it (it was a problem I knew about before this). He said it was common to get a short in a wire, particularly in the flex part between door and body. He thought it was in the driver rear door because when he moved it around the locks started working. I took this apart and all wires looked like brand new.
I have read a couple things about the actuators prematurely failing. I can't see them all failing at the same time though.
Anyone ever see an issue like this? Do I just need to check wiring in the flex tube on all the other doors for a short or worn through insulation?
Thanks in advance!
