No Horn, No Doorlocks

NGillman · 07-17-2003, 11:00 PM

Just recently, my locks and horn stop working on my 1994 Corsica. Checked the fuses in the box on Drivers' Side. All were good. Inside the cover for the fuse box it says there is an 20 amp inline fuse for the horn and door locks located under the steering column. I know inlines are the straight glass ones. I traced the wires from the steering wheel down to a wire harness. From the wire harness all the wires are spliced into an aftermarket keyless/remote start module that I had installed. Could there be anyway that they removed the fuse during installation. So instead of blowing the fuse that was supposed to be there, it blew a relay or something?

I've tried everything I know to try and taking it to the dealership is way to expensive.

I sat turned upside down on the driver's side seat for at least 20 minutes (as far as I can remember). When I came to, I realized I was too big for this nonsense and should break down and ask for help!!!

Haynes manual sucks!!

did you try taking the door panel off and checking for power at the switch and if there is no power try to follow the lead or replace it if neccesary

It is likely that the security system or its installation is interfering with the operation of both, especially if the problem occurred at about the same time. I would insist that the installer locate and repair the problem at his expense, or prove that his installation is not involved. Ray

The keyless remote start was installed about three years ago. It really stopped working about 4 months ago. Everything always worked fine up until then.

Not yet, will though. I've tried to avoid it, because it is such a pain. I tried to find a wiring diagram that shows what I am looking for, but as my signature line suggests....Haynes Manuals and I don't play well together. I'll go to the library to check for something else.

Thanks

So, did you check all the fuses??? You know the ones next to the engine and the ones inside the car? Also, is there anything else not working correctly like the domelights or cig lighter? Most of the time, the wires break inside the doorjams. Pull the boot back and check the wires.

Looked at Bulldog, very helpful, Thanks. I will definetly check the wires between the door and body.

LOTS OF WORK TO DO!
