Crispy insulation on all the wires on the lock switch in the driver door; put electrical tape and liquid "tape" on the wires. I believe I got them all separated, and I didn't see any broken wires.
(doors were randomly locking/unlocking when the door moved and the bares wires touched)
Now it only makes the relay click, unless I whack the black wires together (took them all out of that crappy plastic connector). The two colored wire plugs are plugged together, then I hit the black wires together, and it will unlock the doors. I hold the switch-button down and whack the black wires together, but the relay only clicks.
I've been playing with this durn thing for a couple hours, and I know I'm missing some basic understanding of electricity. All I "get" is the circle/circuit thing. I don't get how "ground" works...
Am I making any sense? Would the actual switch itself go bad, or did I miss a broken or bare wire?
But wait, there's more! :+) Went back out there, hooked all three plugs up, pushed the lock-button down, and the other door-buttons jerked downward just a little bit. Kept doing it, and they gradually quit moving, until the relay was just clicking, again. (I had noticed this sort of decline before, and it's not the battery or anything) Some kind of charge builds back up after awhile???
