    Everything (windows mirrors, etc) work fine. When I hit the locks from the passenger side, the drivers side locks and unlocks, but not the passenger side. I can hear a slight "click", but the lock doesn't move. I can manually lock/unlock, and I can use the key to lock/unlock. The power (key alarm passenger/drivers side buttons) locks don't work from either side.


    Also, the D on my dash doesn't light up when I'm in drive. P,R,2,L light normally.

    If you hear a click in the door, it sounds like the link arm has fallen out of the solenoid. It should be a simple fix, after removing the door panel.

    I didn't do anything, but now it works.

    This is a weird vehicle.

    Sounds like the lock motor is starting to go. It has plastic gears in it and as they wear/break it starts to work sometimes, sometimes not. Mine did this (drivers side). Then it stopped working completely. I got my motor from OCWILEY who is parting his out. He may still have the passenger side motor. Drop him a line. Price and service were great. Its a pretty easy replacement process. Takes about 45 minutes and a phillips screw driver. Just be carefull with the little plastic connectors on the rods. They are fragile. If you have any ????'s just give me a holler. (I just replaced it this weekend).

    you need the schematic of the anti-theft circuit.
    the whole lock/unlock electrics are shown on it.
