Default Door Locks Won't Lock at 15 mph

Hi All,

My door locks won't lock at 15 mph as they are supposed to. I've had this fixed four times. Each time they work for a couple weeks and then go back to not working.

Is anyone else having this problem? Does anyone know of a fix that works?

for longer than a couple weeks.

Default i know this probably won't help-- but a quick question....

Has it completely stopped working or is the issue intermittent? Be aware that the system only locks the doors one time after each start. So, if you start the car and hit 15 they should lock BUT if you happen to unlock the doors for some reason they will not lock again. Also, if you get out but keep the car running the doors will not auto-lock again, even if the car is put in park.

Can you clarify the issue?

common on 2003. You can replace the door lock module, but it still won't help

Default Just had mine programmed a few weeks ago with my tune and...

they stopped for about a week and then resumed again and have been fine. I have meant to call the shop in Houston about the issue but if all is saying it is an issue on '03's then maybe I will not bother.
