Hi,
My central locking system has only been working intermittently this spring, and recently it has totally shit the bed. The auto locks for the whole car do not work at all, the passenger door is frozen and cannot be unlocked with a key, or even by pulling the lock knob (doesn't move).
I hear a buzzing sound in the driver wheel well area when I do the full turn of the key on the driver side.
I've read through some previous posts, but wanted to get final advice before I start tearing things apart.
My plans:
- open up the panel behind the drivers speaker and see if there's any corrosion or obvious stuff happening in there
- pull off the door panels and see if I can find out why the passenger door lock is frozen
- replace the lock module by the speaker
- replace door locks - do you think this is needed?
- possibly just add a remote lock kit
OR
Is is possible just to pull out all the central locking stuff and just use the key for all the doors and truck (cheapest solution?)
Many thanks for any advice...
