Default passenger door lock problem solved (for now)

first thanks for all the help here...... and the instructions on the door panel removal Steve :yesnod:

I ripped the door panel off last night (good idea to roll the window down first ....thanks for that tip br :) ) and checked all the harness connectors and connections by making sure they were ALL tight and making good contact.

Then I just locked and unlocked about 20 times with the fob and it worked every time......BUT one thing I noticed is that if I hit the key twice TOO fast, it wouldnt work......but if I hit it once then waited about a second and then hit it again, it would always unlock the passenger side.....SOOOOOOOO it appears that I had one and/or two problems:

1. loose connector on the DCM...there were about 4 or 5 of them
2. I was hitting the unlock button twich too quickly, but this isnt likely as even the door lock button on teh driver side wouldnt do it


I am going to continue to monitor this and see where it goes, I also got a tip to make sure the drivers side connections were all good on the window, door, mirror contol pad.....I will check it out too :)

so again, it looks like all is well for now and thanks again for all the help....and to those of you that have a similar problem, I would take the door panel off and check for good connections, if that doesnt fix it, then it could be a warranty issue

THANKS C5TECH, Steve, br and everyone else for the good advice ... aint this place great :cool: :cheers:
