i have a 92 sc4. before when i got in the car and start it up, the door locks would lock it self. now it doesnt work. i can see it moving wanting to lock but it doesnt.

the switch and key will lock and unlock it.


any ideas why it would lock itself anymore? both pass/driver side wont lock on its own when i start the car.

 

mines has never ever done that

bump so someone can chime in

 

Mine either in my '95. In mine in fact, the power lock button won't engage if the key is in the ignition. No way to lock myself out with the engine running...

 

Yeah, please someone chime in on this...my '95 doesn't do this either (At least I don't think it's suppose to)....BTW, Does you car have an aftermarket alarm on it?

I had a Honda Civic that did that...But that's because it had an aftermarket alarm on it.

 

my 92 SC300 never did that either...sounds like a short that fixed itself...? This is new info to me

 

Ya this is news to me as well. '99 sc4 here, never does that..
However, when I remotely unlock the car and don't actually open the door it locks itself after a minute or two, I guess in case I accidentally unlock it from my pocket or something.

 

Yeah, my '95 does this too. ^^^

Oh! and I believe the timing is actually 30 seconds before the car will lock itself.

 

My 97 wouldn't lock if the door was open and the key was in the ignition so I couldn't lock myself out with the car running.

My 93 automatically locks when I hit 25mph and if I try to unlock it while going 25mph+ it wouldn't let me. So I can't throw anyone out of my car lol. It used to be 25kph but since I converted my speedo to mph, it changed.

 

My alarm does it when I switch the gear.

 

I've always had to manually lock it back while driving.

 

I have a viper alarm that locks the doors when I start the car.... Never did it without the alarm

 

***correction to my post***

My alarm locks the car automatically when all doors are shut and car is running, I've been locked out a few times with the car running.

 

hmm... i guess it isnt factory.

maybe it had an aftermarket alarm from previous owner.


thanks guys
