Power Lock Problem

[Laryen35]

I'm having some problems with my power locks locking and unlocking by themselves. It will "lock, unlock, lock, unlock, lock, unlock" then I can't lock them. It will do this repeatedly while I'm driving, but at no specific interval. While it's doing this, the dome light will flash. Anyone have any ideas?

My 1991 Cutlass Supreme had a phantom RKE problem. We took it to a shop, and the mechanic was holding the door lock fuse in his hand and it still spazzed out. Got worse in the summer, less so in the winter. We never figured it out, it just sorta went away on its own.

My guess is its just a short somewheres that's making intermittient contact, i.e. insulation rubbing away.

Thanks for the info....I pulled out my power lock fuse...The thing is still clicking (I can hear what sounds like a relay flipping back and forth up under the instrument panel area, not sure what it is). The dome light still flashes on and off, but the locks don't flip. Still looking into it and any other ideas. I'm thinking an exposed wire, or something. The relay does a series of 6 clicks every time and the light flashes 3 times.

That's either a short or moisture somehow got into your relay housing.
