Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

Listees: My power locks "sometimes" go into a funk where they will cycle up and down until the front doors are shut...and then always in the locked position. The cycling can be broken by opening BOTH doors at the same time; then the locks are up/opened.

I have always assumed that there is a short in the wiring and had planned on tearing the doors apart to investigate when I found the above trick.

So until you tear your mechanisms apart...this might work for you too.
