bronze93 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Posted October 16, 2010 The power lock on the drivers side stopped working a little while ago so today I decided to fix it. I spent 3 hours tearing things apart, testing wires, and looking at wiring diagrams. I felt really stupid when I figured it out so I figured I would post here to hopefully save someone else. The end problem was the fact that I had disconnected the keyless entry box that sits on the rear deck. Apparently this is part of the system and is required for the drivers power door lock to work.

carkhz316 Posted October 16, 2010 Report Posted October 16, 2010 This is a good thing to know. Thanks for sharing. I'm sure it will save others some hassle in the future Quote
bronze93 Posted October 17, 2010 Author Report Posted October 17, 2010 Another thing I found out while reading the schematics is you can disable the automatic door locks by pulling fuse #7. Quote
96grandprix Posted October 17, 2010 Report Posted October 17, 2010 Another thing I found out while reading the schematics is you can disable the automatic door locks by pulling fuse #7. fuse 7 only disables the auto unlock feature. it will still lock with the fuse out. i cut the auto lock wire at the chime module on my 96 gp, along with pullin the #7fuse. now it has no auto door lock anything!

white4d96 Posted October 17, 2010 Report Posted October 17, 2010 You didn't have to cut the wire. I simply disconnected it from the chime box and no more auto lock or unlock. And if I ever decide I want it or someone I sell it to wants it, I don't have to resplice all the wires. Quote

And if I ever decide I want it or someone I sell it to wants it, I don't have to resplice all the wires. all i have to do 2 restore the auto lock (which i never will) is reconnect 1 wire. not a big deaL Im not gonna sell the car to anybody that is gonna care about the auto lock feature anyway....i hope there arent any empty cavities on that chime module connecter. if there is u might have a problem finding the right one if u want 2 restore the auto locks...

white4d96 Posted October 20, 2010 Report Posted October 20, 2010 I'm not quite sure what you mean there. There's two plugs that go into my chime box: one big one with 8 slots, and a small one with 4. I unplug the one with 4 and I keep my chimes (save the annoying blinker chime) but lose my auto (un)lock. I just ziptied this plug in the dash along with my RCA's to keep them from moving around. I do agree that I dislike the auto lock feature though. I mean, I guess it serves its purpose but I just don't like it. Quote
