I am able to lock and unlock the door with the remote but I can't unlock it through the driver door switch or any other switch within the car. If I want to unlock the I would have to turn the car off to automatically unlock it or use the remote for the car alarm. Any ideas on what to check for?

thanks

and how did you have to connect the door locks? Was it a simple tag and go or did you have to wire in a relay / cut the factory wire for any reason?

I have a 97 Suburban which I connected the 3 Wire Positive Door Locks as shown in the link below:

I didn't have to cut any door lock wires. I just tapped into the door lock/unlock wires. I did cut the wires for the window module but I don't believe it would affect the door locks. All my windows works fine.

Check your fuses especially those in conjunction with your body control ECU, also all the connectors, pull off and replace firmly.

The cigarette lighter 20 amp fuse keeps blowing. What does the lighter have to do with the door locks?

Could be sharing a fuse. If you replace the fuse without using the cig. lighter is everything OK?

Also are you using it as a lighter or for a charger/power supply for a TomTom etc?

I don't have anything hooked up to the cigarette lighter. I took the cigarette lighter out and replaced the fuse and as soon as I hit the door locks it pops the fuse. I have read on different forum it could be a coin stuck in there but I have checked it twice and nothing was in there.

Did you use white for unlock and light blue for lock, make shure that this two wires are not in contact at the relays.
