Angry Power locks not working!

My '01 is 7 1/2 years old and I've never had any problems until now. Suddenly my power door locks don't work, whether it's using the fob or the manual switch on the door. When I use my fob to activate the locks, the horn sounds, just as it should. But the locks don't activate. And when I attempt to lock or unlock the car using the inside door switch, I just get a clicking sound. Additionally, the locks do not automatically activate when I reach 15 mph. I'm already tired of having to reach around to unlock the rear doors when loading and unloading my car. Could this just be a fuse issue?

Default Re: Power locks not working!

Your problem could possibly be the RKEM (Remote Keyless Entry Module) located in the dash above the middle vents. They do go bad.



There's some tests that should be done before replacing the unit. This is from Do-It-Yourself.net

The fuse block feeds power to the RKEM from 3 fuses. The RKEM controls both alarm and door lock functions. The lock buttons on the door panel do not connect directly to the lock motors. Everything goes through the RKEM. The Remote Keyless Entry Module is located under the dash. You should verify that the correct voltage inputs are on the corresponding pins. The ground circuit should also be verified prior to replacing the RKEM. If you need help accessing or programming the RKE please review SM, or the RKE guide in the Pit area on the site. You'll also find the wiring schematics there.

Fuse 13, 10amps, delivers constant power to pin #9.
Fuse 3, 20 amps, delivers constant power to pin #3.
Fuse 10, 10amps, deliver switched ignition power to pin #22.
Pins 8 &12 are ground wires.
