My husband is on a ship off to Iraq and I need advice on this so I don't get ripped off. I had a remote starter installed on my 2000 Dodge Intriped and within a day or so, the locks started making this loud buzzing sound when put in the lock position. The installer states this is a dodge problem. I really need help on what to do, or if there are know electrical problems when the rattler is installed. Please advise. ------------- Shelly67

when you say in the lock position do you mean using your hand to lock the door or do you mean with the power lock switch on the door? In some cars you may have a problem when ignition controled door locks are activated on the remote start, the best thing to do is to go back to the people who put it on and ask them to temporarly disconect the power lock wire, which will be easy for them and see if the locks still act the same, if they do it will be a factory problem and if they dont then they should fix it!!!!

dodge products are notorious for bad lock actuators . i worked on a 99 durango with one today . does it do the same thing from the switch or just the remote???

My husband is on a ship off to Iraq and I need advice on this so I don't get ripped off. Yes, do mean the power locks. If I have them disconnect the power lock wire, would my locks even work? I would like more informaiton on how to tell if the problem in the installor of the auto start of Dodge. It does make the noise when I press the switch, the remote is used and even when I reach 15 mph and the door lock. Thank you so much!

Go and listen to each door separately. If only one door is making the odd noise, it is probably just the power lock actuator in that door----and since the installer does not need to go into the doors on an Intrepid, it is most likely not his fault. If the odd noise comes from all the doors at once, or from some other odd area of the car.......well, if that's the answer, post more details and we'll try to narrow it down. And if the noise is indeed just in one door, and you're too cheap to fix it for whatever reason, yes....the actuator in that door can be unplugged. It won't work electrically anymore, but you can still lock/unlock it manually.

Yes, the noise just comes from one door. Why is it making such a noise, but still works. I thought because this happen a day after I have the remote start installed, that too much power was being sent thur the system and that is why the door started making the noise. Could this be the case. Thanks for your comments. ------------- Shelly67

no, there is nothing the installer could have done to the door actuator, it is ran by a system with its own power and only triggered by the remote start, if you are under warrenty you should have the dealer fix it,if not maybe the shop that you got the remote start would do it for you at a fair price. If you trust and like them.
