[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 963390, member: 52972"] David, Do you hear anything happening at any door when you hit the "Lock" or "Unlock" button when the vehicle is hot? If you hear a noise it would indicate that you probably have a good electrical connection but the solenoids are not activating. That would be odd for all the solenoids to fail at once? If you don't hear anything, it is not likely the solenoids, and probably a fault of the electronic door lock module. Another test would be to unlock the vehicle with the key and test the "Lock/UnLock" buttons on the drivers door. If the button works, then you wiring and lock solenoids are working fine, which means it is in the electronic door lock module. The heat may be throwing off the electronics and it is either not getting the radio signal from the remote, or is just failing to function when hot. I don't know how much the electronic door lock module cost, but it should not be to hard to replace...It's located under the dashboard. I'm sure someone here who has a repair manual/DVD can post a photo to help you identify the module. They may even be able to provide a more positive test procedure. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
