hey whats up guys so a few days ago my car stopped locking itself when i hit the lock button or the alarm i just locks when i physically lock the door by hand or with the key my passenger door works fine have any of u gotten this problem?
if so what did you do to fix it?
or any idea on what the problem might b?

 

Sounds like a bad actuator, or whatever controls the locking mechanism.

 

dang i just looked it up there go $200 X[

thanx man

 

I'm certain thats what the problem is but I'm guessing here. Wait for others to chime in because I have never dealt with this problem before.

 

I purchased my 04.5 with a bad actuator and for now I've been content with locking and unlocking the driver door manually. It's just not that big of a deal to me. I rather dish $200+ on something else

Things I would rather spend $200+ on-
-5/16 spacer
-used test pipes
-used HR y-pipe

 

i don't know about u but none of those things don't really mean **** to me... lol i rather have a locking door than any of those things. its kinda ghetto when u have 2 do it manually?!? u drive an infiniti.

back 2 da topic. ya i had that happen to me b4. actually both of my doors when out one after the other. i was lucky my car was under warranty @ that time. they told me it was the actuator

 

I see your point but to each, his own.

 

Theres a write up on here about a 5 dollar actuator from a stereo shop and modifying it to fit in our doors instead of paying 200. Check it out.

 

There is a 5 dollar actuator and some jerry rigging needed to get it to work again. I'm content with my driver side not locking. It only sucks when i set my alarm off by opening my alarmed car. If someone wants something of mine go for it.

 

yeah when it first happened i was like oh who cares my other car didnt even have a electric locking thing but now i wanna fix it cus i have a feeling one day im going to forget to lock it and i have a pretty expensive system in the back so thanx guys i asked one of my friends he told me he had a hook up on it aswell

 

tuna go to the southern cali forums, theres a guy doing a fix for this for only $30!!!! I will be getting mine done either this weekend or next

 

I'm in that thread...let me know how this works for u, might have to get it done here shortly..

 

hey do u have a link for it sorry im currently at work and i cant find it but cant get caught searching the web X[

 

I got use to locking mine manually. At least it's the driver's side, so I don't have to walk to the other side.

 

My '05 just started doing this tonight (well at least that I have noticed anyways). Anybody got the link for the $30 mod? I haven't had much luck finding it yet.

Thanks
