Door Locks & Electrical Annoyances
My 2000 has been giving me some electrical issues over the past couple of months.
Here's a list in the order they started.
1. The rear window only intermittently works when pressing the up/down button up front
2. Mirror defrosters only stay on for 5-10 seconds before turning off
3. The ring light around the key turns on and off intermittently when the vehicle is in motion.
4. Lastly, and most annoyingly, the doors won't stay locked when driving. I press the armrest lock button, and then anywhere from 1-30 seconds after, all doors unlock. This only happens when the car is running... I can lock it just fine when the key is out of the ignition, with either the door key cylinder or the armrest lock button.
From reading older threads, it sounds like the rear window and mirror defroster are somehow connected, so these might not be related to the key light/door lock issue.
The unlocking issue only seems to happen when it's raining outside, which makes me think there might be a leak somewhere that is getting into a control box that controls all these functions. But I'm not sure where that controller would be.
Any input is appreciated. This has got me stumped.
