power door locks dying
Just as of the last week or so all power door locks except the drivers door have been intermittently working. Sometimes they stick going up or going down. More so going up. Drivers side is fine. It's startin to drive me nuts! Anyone know a possible cause?
Also my overhead console has been fading out as well. If i smack it it might work again for a bit. Took it apart and looked for broken solder joints and it all looks good, plugged it back in and it worked fine for about 4 days then started doing it again. Maybe a loose plug?
I hate gremlins......

I did the foil to the door lock last about 2 years...can't complain. But if you are going to fix it, just go on ebay and look for the door look actuator. Think they are like $20...well worth it if you ask me...
The overhead, sounds like a loose solder point....vibration is probable why it keeps going out over a period of time..

yeah i think i might have to look a little closer at the solder joints. weird thing was when i had it apart and plugged in i tried to get it to shut off by shaking it and bumping it and it was fine.
