Door Locks Finally did it!
WOW it's been so long since i've had working door locks I am tickled pink!
did all four doors today, took me about two hours..... instead of tinfoil i just soldered a small piece of 22ga wire between the two posts where the little silver resistor was.. and let me tell you these things go up and down like they are ready to come out of the door!
I sat there for 10 minnutes just watching themn go up and down!!! Thanks guys

Haven't got around to doing mine yet. I use my door locks once or twice a year when I haul animals to the county fair. It would have been nice to know if the key worked in my locks beforehand... It was ice cream all around for the kids for leaving the rear sliding window unlocked for once...

just a word of warning to you. Look into putting a thermistor in line to the actuator. When you do the fix you are removing one. It protects the motor from overheating if the button is held down too long. I fixed mine and two months later, on a road trip, my wife fell asleep on the button and killed both motors.
