Hi,
I recently bought a used 2001 Galant and was told the power locks
don't work. I've actually discovered that they only kind of work.
Here are the scenarios I've worked through:
1) Ignition off, press lock or unlock: no response from the power
locks (thus thinking it wasn't working).
2) Ignition on and all doors closed, press lock or unlock: power locks
work fine. All doors lock and unlock as expected.
2) Ignition on and any one or more doors open, press unlock: all doors
unlock.
3) Ignition on and any one or more doors open, press lock: all doors
lock and rapidly unlock.
Anyone have a suggestion or two? I've ordered the Haynes manual, but
it'll be a week or so, and I'm hoping this is a pretty simple fix.
Thanks!

Seems that the Computer and/or the Receiver for the locking system has
no permanent 12V supply. Shure nobody fooled around with the electric?

I wouldn't be surprised if they had, the previous owner had installed
some of the standard "look! I have a cool car! girls will like me!"
stuff (which my boyfriend and I will be ripping out once we get the
Haynes book).

Why did you waste your money on a Haynes manual? Get a factory manual
and you will have accurate and complete information.

If a man is speaking in the middle of the forest and there is no woman
around to hear him, is he still wrong?

Hey Weffey,
I had a similar concern with my 2002 Mitsubishi Galant and I
subscribed to ALLDATAdiy.com and it has been very useful. I am handy
and like to do things myself and this subscription gives me diagnosis,
repair, TBSs, recalls and labor times. I hope you find it useful -
it's pretty cheap considering the information comes directly from the
manufacturer.
Check it out - I copied the link below for you.
