Door lock problems.....

Sep 17, 2006 1 Replies

I tried to find a pervious thred on this but couldent find it.



I purchaced a 99 forester a couple days ago and have a couple problems



One of which is the power door locks. When i got it (used 87,000 miles) there was no fuse in the door lock part. When i put the fuse in the alarm started going off untell i turned the key on and pressed the button under the alarm box under the dash.... so far all is well untell i press unlock or lock on the door lock. Then the fuse blows! I disconected the driver door electrical connector under the left kick pannel and it still did it with the pass side switch. I then reconected it and disconected the pass door and tried it with the driver door switch and same thing. This is as far as i have gotten. Any ideas? I got a wireing diagram on all door lock wires, but if someone else has had this problem i would love to hear about it before i tear into it farther.


Also on another note, it is a s/s limited edition with keyless entry and alarm from the factory.


ok i figured out what was going on, the door lock/alarm control module was bad causing a short. Picked one up at work for free and it fixed it!
