My driver's side door lock actuator grew gremlins.
I think. It click-click-clicks while driving and the "door open" light on the dash flashes on/off. I know it's not just the door switch. I've dealt with that before and just the dash light flashes, no clicking. Anyway I plan to remove the door panel and look for any shorts or loose connections. I even bought a replacement actuator just in case. I read the FSM re: actuator replacement. It says you have to drill out some rivets to remove the old actuator then rivet in the new one. Correct? WHY WOULD THEY RIVET IN A REPLACEABLE PART? I'm surprised they didn't locate it under the plenum. Anybody ever have this problem? Fix? TIA ![]() Ted |

Every door lock actuator on every power window car or truck I have ever worked on the OEM actuator is ALWAYS riveted from the factory. It its nutted and bolted its been replaced before. Sounds like your having a PKE issue Ted.

The intermittent nature of this sounds like a grounding issue. Just my .02.

Do your locks work manually?

Hi Ted,
'93 and up cars have automatic lockout protection if the PKE system is enabled. If the key is in the ignition and a door is closed an automatic door unlock cycle will occur. The driver's door or both doors will be unlocked depending on how the PKE system has been configured. Turn the PKE system off and see if the door lock activity stops. If so, there is a problem with a door switch. |

I don't know if it matters, but for years I have used an aftermarket FOB
(Viper) anti-theft/auto lock system on my Z. I haven't had a problem (yet) with it. The factory FOB sits in my desk. Low Battery? Last edited by tf95ZR1; 06-10-2017 at 11:47 AM. Reason: Wanted 2 |
