I have replaced the electric locks on my 1991 Carat with the green ones from Van Cafe. Installed new factory links that connect the lock actuator to the window button. Replaced the short connection cables with new as well. I simply unplugged the hatch look and do not plan to hook it back up. Prefer the manual locking operation for the hatch. I tested all circuits to be sure I had power to the appropriate places. All good. Key will unlock the driver side but will not lock or unlock the passenger side from the driver side, even though it should. Sliding door some times will and sometimes won't. Even had a professional mechanic look at it and he was stumped. was no a Vanagon man, however. Any ideas? |
