Q: My electric locks stopped working on ALL doors all at once.

asked by on December 22, 2016

Without any signs of something going wrong. ALL my doors stopped locking all at once. When I drive they wont lock automatically. I have 3 Fobs. None work. If I push the PANIC button, my Flashers come on. But No Horn Noise and No Flashing Lights! If I push the LOCK button twice the Horn sounds. But my LIGHT don't flash on either of these uses of the fob. I can manually lock them from inside. And the KEY will open or lock the front doors
