I am working on my 97 9000 the one that got wrecked and had a few electrical problems after the wreck, like the brake light switch and turn flasher for some reason went out after the wreck. What I am looking at now is the pictogram driver door is light when the door is closed and the auto door locks work, but when I bring the key back to center, the doors unlock themselves.
I posted something about this before. I pulled the door lock fuse to work the doors manually BUT even with the fuse out the little curtesy lights on the door had a minor glow--- like they were getting low voltage feed to them or a short or an incomplete loop, but when the door was closed and the key removed the curtesy lights looked like they went out. However, the new quality battery went dead after sitting for 3 weeks, so I think there is a voltage draw somewhere still.
I know we talked about the green micro switch and the magnets and how they are delicate, but I need a refresher. First, I am going to pull the door card off and unplug the door open lights for the pictogram and see what that does. I do not want to damage the locking system so is there something to be concerned about?
What I would like to happen is the auto door locks to work and I am not too concerned about the working of the pictogram.
On the 1993 9000 when the pictogram would not go out, I unplugged the wires like Chengny suggested and that fixed it. On 1997 the problem is different; the locks themselves are acting wrong by unlocking themselves when the key is in the neutral position. I do have the remote key also, but it acts the same as the key. Any suggestions?
