Kind of a weird situation here. My doorlocks stopped working temporarily about a month ago when it got really cold all of a sudden, then they started working again the next day when it warmed up. Well, it got really cold a couple nights ago, and guess what, the locks stopped working again. I figured they would start working again when it warmed up, like last time. Nope, wrong.
Whenever I press the lock switch I can hear a click under the dash(like a relay) but the locks don't want to work. Any ideas?

Thanks Gunther The locks work now with the fix, but a new problem arose.

New problem:

Whenever I got everything put back together from the TCU fix, I shut my door and all the doors locked. Well, my sunroof was opened so I just reached inside and unlocked the passenger side manually, and in doing so, set off the Anti-theft system. I unplugged the Atni-theft box underneath the steering column, but my question now is, How do I reset the anti-theft? I lost my real key, so now I only have a valet key. I am going to get another real key for it, but just haven't had the time in the past few weeks.

the alarm is reset by locking and unlocking the passenger door with the key IIRC

I think you have to wait for the alarm to shut off, then open the door with the key. It's happened to me a few times, I usually pull the relay for the horn until the alarm shuts off, open the door with the key, and replace the relay

ive locked the doors back(with alarm honking) and unlocked them with the key. killed the alarm...

Gunther

I've got an aftermarket alarm as well [last owner installed it] and the stock one wasn't disabled. It might be interfering with turning the alarm off

vernk

unlocking the drivers door with the key should turn the alarm off if not disconnect the battery for for 30 sec will reset factory alarm iirc

how do you disable the stock alarm without screwing with aftermarket alarm?

BTW: I had the lock problem too, stoped working all together, saw this post and decided to go buy a soldering iron. took me 25mins to take off bottom part, remove thing, solder, test, put all back together. first time using a solder.
Locks work again!! Thanks for the Info!
