Door Locks

[glowbot]

When I first got my my door locks would auto lock when put into drive and then when the car was turned off unlock. 5 months ago this thing stopped working. Anyone know why?

Did you check the fuses?

[glowbot]

Um ya. Anyone know what one it might be? I can test see if there is power going to it.

RTFM and reprogram it, it takes all of 3 minutes.

I think I have a idea of what RTFM means mind spelling it out for me lol. I don't have a manual. Never got one with my car. Would you mind expaining it a bit.

i remember reading this a while back.. you have this crazy sequence of lock pressings to do.

[glowbot]

Ok now I know what to look for a bit more.

[glowbot]

Did a ton of searches and a bunch of reading and found nothing. Guess I well buy the book.

Well I don't know the sequence of what beep does what here, but if you press and hold the lock button down for a few seconds it will beep, then release the button. Do it again, it beeps twice. Again, beeps three times, etc. Each set of beeps is a different program for your locks. But like I said I don't recall what each one does so experiment a bit with that.

lol then when I use my remote to lock my doors it opens then and unlock locks them lol. I well check this out prob how I messed it up the first time and I didn't even know I was doing it lol.

I'm not talking about using the remote lock button. I'm talking about the drivers door lock/unlock button. Hold down the lock side of it and wait for the beeps. Didn't know the remote would do something else if you held those buttons down.

If I remember to, I will grab my manual out of the car later and post up what each set of beeps do.

Ya I was talking about inside the car. Could have been one of the kids messing around holding it down locking my out of my car lol. Looking the code up for me would really help out thanks a lot.

K, this is explained on pages 2-7 through 2-9 of the manual. Sounds like you are in Mode 4.

When you vehicle was shipped from the factory it was programmed in Mode 1. To change to a different mode, do the following:

1. Put tranny into PARK for Auto's or REVERSE for Manuals with the parking brake engaged and turn the ignition ON.

2. Press and hold the lower part of the power door lock switch for 10 seconds. Release the switch when you hear the chime.

3. Count the number of chimes you hear. The number of chimes tells you which mode your vehicle is in. You can change what mode your in by pressing and holding the lower part of the power door lock switch (two chimes for Mode 2, three chimes for Mode 3 and four chimes for Mode 4).

4. Repeat Step 2 until you hear the number of chimes that matches the mode you want.

The Modes:

Mode 1:
All doors automaticall lock when shifting out of PARK. The doors will remain locked unless manually unlocked or the lock button is pressed. All doors will unlock when you shift back into PARK and the ignition is turned OFF.

Mode 2:
This mode is only available on vehicles with a remote keyless entry. All doors automatically lock when you shift out of PARK. Automatic drivers door only unlock when shifting back into PARK and the ignition is turned OFF.

Mode 3:
All doors automatically lock when you shift out of PARK. No automatic door unlock.

Mode 4:
No automatic door lock or unlock.

These modes are the same for the manual transmission, just use "REVERSE" in the instructions in the place of "PARK" and the lock occurs when you reach 5-mph.

Also I am not sure if you will hear the chimes if you have an aftermarket stereo, unless you relocated your factory stereo. Any know?
