Power Door Lock Problem

[GP1138]

Right, so my power locks suddenly stopped working. I have checked all fuses and all are good. The strange thing is, the auto unlock when I shut the key off still works! But when I put it in D, it doesn't auto lock. Again, all fuses are good, so I don't understand.

 

Any thoughts?

do the keyless entry fobs still work?

Nope. I have an aftermarket box I installed, but the fuse on that's still good too. I checked the wiring, it's all good. Nothing smells burnt.

I think that your problem might be with your "blue dingie thingie" as it if referred to on PFF. I think the real name is the chime module.

 

There were a few different versions:

 

89-92 Cutlass/GP/Regal boxes have an additional 2 wire connector on them for VSS input and turn signal input... this gives an audible warning if you've left your turn signal on for something like 1.2 miles.

 

93 Cutlass/GP/Regal boxes adds more wires to the extra connector to give automatic locking (but not unlocking).

 

94-96 Cutlass/GP/Regal boxes adds automatic unlocking as well
