Q: Automatic locks do not work properly.

asked by on February 05, 2017

Locks will not operate with use of other driver side lock controls, passenger side lock controls, or key fob lock controls. It is not any lock in specific. It is every lock. They all want to move but instead just barley wiggle. After driving the car around and shutting it off then coming back to it a few hours later the locks will unlocl and lock one time then will no longer work. Again it is not any single lock or any single lock control it's just the wholes system.

My car has 124000 miles.
