I have come to you for yet another problem. My power locks have suddenly stopped working. At first, when I hit the Lock/Unlock buttons, the keyless entry module would click...obviously getting signal from the switches, but not activating the actuators. Yesterday, they worked altogether. Today, they are 100% DEAD. The L/UNL switches have power, so do the connections at the Keyless Entry Module. How do I test the Keyless entry module?
I'm lost from there, on...as to what to test. HELP?
BTW an update on ProjectVII's progress is coming soon.

Will the trunk "unlock" function work?

Check fuse #5 & #8 for the keyless entry module. Do the seats, trunk pull down, and fuel door release work? They're on the same in line Circuit Breaker @ the starter solonoid as the locks.

OK!! I finally got a chance to look at the keyless entry system. Driver's and passenger's door unlocks/locks with the code put in, and the trunk works...Are the switches on a separate circuit? they must be.

If the locks work on all automatic lock/unlock modes, then the problem most likely lies with the manual switches or continuity between switch/s and ground (black wire) or between switch/s and module (pk/lg unlock) (pk/y lock).
