Blackbeard decided that he wasn't such a big fan of his power door lock capability.

When I exit the car, close the door and lock the driver's side door . . . nothing.

Here's the weird thing:

Unlock works perfectly (indicating a short in the 'lock' wire, right?).

BUT if I lock it before ignition, the auto lock works fine.

Also, if I lock from outside the van on the passenger side it, works fine.

Being the mechanically challenged sort that I am, it seems to ME that the wire connected to the keyhole on the driver's side is loose.

2 Questions:

1-Does this sound right?

2-Could it be anything else? (actuator, motor, flux capacitor?)

Thanks in advance.

Matt '90 GL "Blackbeard"
