- Tue Mar 04, 2008 3:55 am #44646 So the new coupe has power locks, and it also has keyless entry.

With the damn weather I haven't been able to play with it much, but I was just wondering something.

The little tab for the power locks, it doesn't seem to stay in any sort of position, it loosely moves back and forth not more than an inch or so.

There's no audio indication that I've locked or unlocked the doors, except for when I use the keyless of course. When it warms up I want to experiment with turning the engine on, rolling down the window and trying to lock myself out using the power locks and then having the engine off and see if there's any difference.

Can anyone tell me though, should I be hearing some sort of indication that the doors have been locked or unlocked? Or what is the locking button supposed to do? Stay rigidly in the "Locked" and "unlocked" position?

- Sun Mar 09, 2008 6:43 pm #45566 I'll try to get pics today or tomorrow. I usually like to drive around with the doors locked, that's mainly why I ask.

There is a noise indicator when I use the keyless and it differs for locking and unlocking and the corner lights flash.

In my dad's pick-up you can distinctly hear the locks when you use the power locks from inside the vehicle, but in the coupe you hear nothing when moving that lock button on the door panel . I'll show you pics.

o does it still lock when you do that?.... if not check to see if its plugged in and check the fuse

mine did that some times but on my teg it doesnt move around. that easily but does move around a little.

- Sun Mar 09, 2008 9:56 pm #45590 Doesn't appear to be OEM:




I wonder if the installation of this somehow deactivated my power locks from within the car...I checked the fuse panel and the fuse for the power locks was gone. I used a spare 20A and put it in and still nothing. With the power on in the car I tried using the remote keyless and it locked and unlocked the doors still.

I suppose if I want to cruise with the doors locked I'll just have to lock them using the remote from inside the car.

- Sun Mar 09, 2008 10:15 pm #45592 yea you might have to lol the car you have was it orignally equipped with power locks/windows?

- Sun Mar 09, 2008 10:17 pm #45594 Originally power locks. What I'm thinking is maybe when they installed the remote starter/security system they bypassed the power locks from the switch to the lock and re-wired the lock directly to the Alpine Control Unit under the dash.

When the weather's warmer I'll take the door panels off and see what they did and I could probably fix it if that's the case. It's not that much of an inconvenience, but thanks for brainstorming with me guys.
