Couple problems with door locks.
1. Door locks won't lock with door lock switch on the doors. Dealer said it could cost alot just to find where the problem is. I am thinking it is a relay some where. Any one know where to look?
2. Back sliding doors won't always lock. 1 out of 10 times they will. Any idea's what to look for? or what the problem might be?

2. this could be a problem by the door contacts. The contacts are driven each by a spring to get good contact to the main fraim contact.
The part which contacts the fraim connector runns through a sliding contact, which scratches after some time and the contact is getting poor.
to test this, just rotate the contact in the door side an see if the look works.
if ok, than you should take out the contact plate ( plastic rivet) dismount the plate, clean everything and tighten the sliding contact to the pin contact. after that procedure my door looks worked fine again.
