cutty collector Posted November 19, 2016 Report Posted November 19, 2016 Back in 1993 when I was working at a gm dealer as an apprentice I can remember people complaining about the automatic lock feature when the car was put into gear .It wasn't even so much the auto lock as the fact that it didn't unlock when put back in park or neutral .Has anybody added this feature to a 93 cutlass Quote
Nas Escobar Posted November 19, 2016 Report Posted November 19, 2016 I would hope not. I'm driving a 94 Cavalier with that option right now and it's a total pain in the ass. The funny thing is that the feature only works on the passenger door but not the driver's. Quote

The funny thing is that the feature only works on the passenger door but not the driver's. That sh!t can be gutted in twenty minutes, on your knees, in twenty-degree weather--and it costs NOTHING on a W-body. It would take even less time in heated comfort; or doing it the second or third time on other vehicles. Therefore, I wouldn't put up with that locking nightmare for more than twenty minutes. The procedure is bound to be the same--or similar--on a Cavalier. http://www.hbassociates.us/automaticdoorlockfix.html A person would have to be completely barking insane to WANT that hateful crap on their vehicle.

Nas Escobar Posted November 19, 2016 Report Posted November 19, 2016 I didn't even know the Lumina had a chime for the blinker. My Cutlass does and it's the most annoying sound the car makes. I'll have to see if the Cavalier has it the same way. Quote
ManicMechanic Posted November 19, 2016 Report Posted November 19, 2016 I added it to my truck and blazer. They lock at 10MPH though and not when put in gear. I like having the feature because I've had people try to open my doors when they aren't wanted. Quote
cutty collector Posted November 19, 2016 Author Report Posted November 19, 2016 The 1994 has the feature but it also unlocks I would like to add that then it would be a great safety feature.Does anyone know if its plug and play? I believe the option was added for safety in event of a crash to prevent the doors from opening which would be catastrophic as the seat belt could cut you in half with the door mounted belts Quote
ManicMechanic Posted November 19, 2016 Report Posted November 19, 2016 It should be a matter of adding the module and one wire, the white one spliced to the power lock relay. Quote

Nas Escobar Posted November 22, 2016 Report Posted November 22, 2016 I believe it's as simple as pulling a fuse on the cavalier. The Cavalier has an "automatic unlock" fuse but will still lock the doors if the power lock fuse is in. Sadly, that also disables the horn if the locks are disabled. Quote

Nas Escobar Posted November 24, 2016 Report Posted November 24, 2016 Cut the light blue wire at the chime module's C200 connector. Now to find that chime module. Quote
ManicMechanic Posted November 24, 2016 Report Posted November 24, 2016 Now to find that chime module. Just above the left kick panel behind the dash as I recall. Quote
White93z34 Posted November 28, 2016 Report Posted November 28, 2016 My 93' Z34 had that. Disabled it the first week I owned the car. If it UNLOCKED in park that would have been one thing.... Quote
