Seems she is doing something she used to do, but in a different manner, a few years back: the door locks suddenly locking when not desired. This time the unhappy event apparently is triggered by my activating something else electrical in the car - hitting the brake pedal, turning on the parking lights, turning on the WW, etc. I could understand this phenomena maybe if activating something electrical causes a surge in the carās general system, but instead it causes a slight decrease in power (right?). So how is that decrease - apparently - causing the door lock relay to activate/trip? Is the solution maybe as simple as time for a new door lock relay (wherever it is located)?
Perhaps you should change her name to Christine, Paul.
May be a big leap here from this casual, but could it be mechanical? Maybe a manual door lock āflip switch?ā
I donāt know ā¦ It seems to be something in the system ā¦ Today she started doing that lock/unlock/lock/unlock āstuck in a loopā thing when I tried to unlock the passenger door using the key (the interior door latch wouldnāt budge!). Fortunately, I was able to get the door open at just the right moment in the loop while she was in āunlockā. Another symptom: when she suddenly locks on me, if I try to unlock the driverās door from the inside sheāll do so, but the message is not also relayed (no pun intended) to the passenger door to do same (or vice versa). Itās like the two doors are on two completely separate circuits, at least at times.
If the radio suddenly comes on one day, and you hear 50ās rock music, BALE OUT!
