Hey Guys,

Not sure whats going on, but i can hear a ticking noise coming from behind the dash/kick panel on the driver side every so oftern. My power door locks have suddenly obtained a new ability to unlock themselves after i have locked them....

I'll lock the doors and maybe about a minute to two mintes after they will unlock themselves.

Whats going on here?

Im assuming you have an s14 because of your sig, if so check the f3 power plug next to the ecu I had a problem like this and it was becauase that plug was not secured down all the way so the connection would come and go causing some of my relays to click

On the passenger kick panel theres a plastic bracket that holds the plug and the top on the plug has like a lever thing that clamps it down. Its white and the bracket is black, its part of the engine harness after it goes through the firewall

relays for the doors should be on the driver side kick panel fuse box, refer to the chilton manual or one of the many pdf manual's online and replace the relay, it's most likely getting stuck.

It happens the cars are old as shit.
