Help with door lock
Niether the key fob or the door switch will lock my drivers side door. Interestingly enough, if I manually lock the door, both key fob and door switch will unlock it...electronically speaking, the drivers side door only unlocks!
Any idears?
I am trying the "auto lock" feature tomorrow, just to see what happens.
Thanks!!

I had the same problem and had to re program my key fob.

This is most likey a problem with a relay in the door module (inside the door). There is/was a thread on this where a guy shows how to replace the relay which can be purchased from digikey.com.
Another site also has useful information: http://www.ronjpics.com/Corvettestuff.htm#DCM
What you want is toward the end.
The web site gives the correct part number, JSM1-12V-4 which I believe is Digi-Key part number 255-1239-ND. In the pictures, the relay that is responsible for locking is the one on the lower left of the board.
I also agree with the site that de-soldering the old relay is difficult. I might be best to pay a pro to actually replace the part on the board. I did it myself and found it very difficult.
Another person suggests cutting the relay open and cleaning the points. I tried this and it worked for a couple of months and then the problem returned.
