Okay so I have search all the other threads on doors won’t lock, unlock, or a combination thereof, but I don’t see anything like my situation. The other day my husband and I took the car to the shop when we got there he tried to lock it. The dash read “delayed lock”. But it never locked. It was after we got it back that I had the chance to drive it. The doors do not lock automatically when driving, do not lock with key fob because it’s currently got a dead battery in it (which we figured out today) and does not lock using the lock switch on the door. We can hear a click for the unlock, the lock side of the switch is quiet.
The check engine soon light is constantly on and the codes are evidently not giving any information because the mechanic thinks it’s The catalytic converter but is not entirely sure.
One other post which was similar in some ways but not exact said it could be the BCM has gone out.
I don’t know much about cars but try my best... I seriously had to look up what a BCM was cause I’ve never heard of it.
Now on top of all that going on it’s making a noise on a hard right turn and my husband swears the steering wheel has randomly locked into place (like it lost power steering) twice. Both times was starting up from a complete stop. Once going forward and once going backward. Neither the mechanic nor myself have been able to replicate the steering wheel issue.
Now for my questions:
Could the steering issue and the locks not working be related?
What would you recommend we look at?
Any help would be greatly appreciated....
