Door locks on '02 Excursion
I have an '02 X, and the door locks work great until I start the truck up. When it is cold, I can unlock/lock it dozens of times using the keypad, remote fob or the door switch. After I start it though, the locks stop working until the truck cools down. I am clueless to the problem. Is it a relay issue or a programming issue? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

The actuators are terrible in these trucks and require replacement. Not sure how cold weather would make a difference. I know my actuators are intermittent in their operation but have not experienced, or noticed, a difference with temperature.

Interesting. The aftermarket remote I have works when the engine is on, but I'm pretty sure that is because they wired it into the door switch. I'll have to check again, but I'm pretty sure the factory fob and keypad don't work if the engine is on. I assumed that was by design.

To clarify, my actuators are working on every door. I can cycle them open and closed a hundred times before starting the rig. After I start it however, there is no more signal to actuate them from the armrest door lock switches. This is why I was under the impression it was a relay problem.
