Is there a mechanic in the house? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Yesterday when I pulled into my work parking lot I heard a noise that kinda sounded like two pieces of block wood being smacked together. I didnt really think anything of it until I went on break and went to lock my door. I have power locks, so as soon as I got in I hit the lock button. I noticed the lock/unlock thing was like vibrating kinda and going back and forth and I had to kinda hold it to keep it in place. It freaked me out thinking my car was dying, but everything else is fine. The power lock on the passenger side is fine. It seems as if the lil lock is loose or something?

I think you're going to have to take it to a repair shop. when you do, show them what I wrote you and it will save you $ on diagnostic fees. I can almost guarantee you it will fix your problem.Tell them they need to remove the seat 4 torx bolts and one electical
connector and pop off the lower left garnish moulding and
verify that the ground splice pack is good. have seen this
problem several times, pack gets corroded.Good Luck!
