Hello everyone, new to the site & Have a ?
Just got my 93 path xe. all is well. about a week later I had problems with the power door locks.
sometimes the vehicle will not lock from the key dongle or the interior switch.
most the time it will. & sometimes if the door gets slammed or encouraged close, it will lock its self.
good thing my spare saved me a few times, but that kind of worry just sucks hanging over me.
I kind of thought it might be a short somewhere, but locating it is a hassle. I think it might be a
short on the locking mechanism ground bolt in the doors. the doors get slammed pretty hard
sometimes & a bolt is bound to come lose. does any1 else have any ideas ?


thanks

Hi all,

I've got a 1993 Pathfinder and it has a power door-lock problem.
when i insert the key into the ignition and try to lock the power door-lock switch on the driver's door, it works, but immediately unlocks itself.

this problem occurs only If the key is still on the ignition switch or when the engine is on. but when the engine is off, everything is ok the door-lock button operates normally.

I did notice that there might be a link between locking the doors and the key in the ignition. i also read in some forums somethings about door-lock malfunction in cold weather, but in morocco (where i live) it rarely gets below 10 degrees in the winter.

plz Help!

 

To Ekoms 420. I have the same problem with slamming the door hard and having the doors lock. Did you ever resolve the issue? Locked-out in PA

I am not sure but I think if you will reset the switch then it will work.
