door lock problem,,,, ( searched no clear answer)
this is the situation with my 98 gs,,,, one driver said rear door,,,,,, does not lock or unlock,,, well sometimes it does work,,, so i am assuming its the door lock actuator.... but when it gets hot,,, all the doors besides the drivers door doesnt wanna work either... also when i unlock it with the remote,,, it does an extra beep like its trying one more time to unlock the car,,, when i am driving and i hit the drivers main switch to lock the doors, it will work once,,, then stop working.... any ideas what the problem is,,,, are all the door lock actuators bad,,,,, or is there a main computer that has a short or something,,,, does anybody have the full wiring diagram for the door locks..,,, thanks for the much needed help

that is what i am assuming,,,,, but i just didnt want to change the door lock actuators and find out my computer is bad too,,,, guess this means i am gonna have to change three of them,,,, i was hoping that one of the older threads was correct by saying u just have to change the drivers side one.......

all my actuators were bad,,,,, or going bad,,,,,,, so instead of spending a grand on gettting new ones,,,, i went with all aftermarket actuators,,,,,, works like charm now,,,,, and it was way way cheaper,,,, it took two days,,, and lots and lots of hard work

honestly,,,,, if only one actuator is bad,,,, i would rather just get an oem one,, but in my case it was all four,,,,, and everybody knows that can easily run over a grand,,,, anyways not sure what brand actuator it is,,,, a friends stereo shop did it for me,, i believe he had to change it over to rods,,,, but i cant confirm this,,, i know it was a crap load of work to get this job done though,,,,, cost a little less than a hundred a door..... but i am one happy customer i tell u
