92 SE power locks not working

Hey guys i don't know why why locks stopped working the other day. I don't know why but when i play with the main switch i hear a little tick like under the dashboard. Could this be the security sistem or something. I got under the steering wheel and saw like a little computer there and i think that's what's making the sound.Please help!!!!!

Faulty door lock timer. You can either resolder the joints or try to get a used on from a local junk yard. As for new, I have not priced one from the dealership. I am in the same boat: my door locks are intermittant. I will most likely resolder the connections inside the door timer, but I have other pressing things to attend to first.

I didn't know there was a Lock timer on our cars i thought that little computer could be the alarm. But i don't know like you said my locks are intermittent also.

ignition coils are cheap
water pump is a breeze
I wouldn't know about injectors yet

have fun

You are right. The little computer under the stearing wheel is the anti-theft system; however, that is not what controls the locking and unlocking of the doors. The door lock timer is closer to the ECU behind the radio.
