My doors will not lock if I press the button on my drivers door, or press the lock button my my key remote.
If I press the lock button on the key remote, the alarm DOES arm. If you lift a door handle from outside the SUV, the alarm does go off but the doors are not locked.
You can manually lock all 5 doors, then press the lock button on the remote and they will be locked and the alarm armed. I normally just arm the alarm though, I'm too lazy to lock the four doors and the lift gate manually each time!
Now I know what you guys are going to say, pull the door boot and checking the wiring. I have, my friend has and we have already repaired all the broken wires, that is how I fixed my power windows. It does not appear to be the wiring.
So next thought was the switch itself. Well I also don't believe it to be the switch. If I get in my SUV with the engine off, radio off, windows up so it's dead silent inside the car and then press the "LOCK" button I hear what sounds like a relay clicking on. I think it's coming from the back passenger side, maybe near the rear wheel well?
It dos it every single time I press the lock button.
Thoughts?
