Whitebrick Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 So this morning i start up my truck like i alway do in the morning and waiting for all the lights to go off aswell as the oil pressure to come up on my gauge. Then i shut the door to go back inside and the truck locked itself! Now it has done this befor and it only douse this when it is cold out side. If you live in houston texas it can be hot one day and over nite it well be cold in to the 40s but was gust wondering if there is something that i can change or fix so this douse not happen agin. I got lucky and was at home and got my other keys but dont wont this to happen away from home like at work or somthing. I did have a oem alarm but changed it out with a viper alarm so i do not know if that has anything to do with it aswell. dont really remmber if it did it with the alarm that nissan put in. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittamaru Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 That... is odd to say the least. never heard of that happeneing... though occasionally my locks FREEZE shut... but that's a different issue altogether XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccerstudd5 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Mine did that all time... it got to where if I needed to warm up the car I would crack one of the back windows so I could get back in if it locked itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 My recently purchased 95 has a viper remote start/alarm and every time you start the truck, once the engine fires up, the doors lock, and once you turn it off, the doors unlock. The PO warned me that they do that. Kind of pisses me off too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nismothunder Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Hell my 95 xe did that last week...the sob locked me inside of it so I couldnt get out.I driver side handle was froze up and I hit the lock button and I coulnt get out since the freaking locks went nuts.Up,down...for about 3 minutes until they finally stayed down.Well I put my window down and crawl out the other door.I see want happen so I push the handle down and bang the damn thing locks me out.But I had put the window down Cause I had a feeling it would do that.

Whitebrick Posted March 14, 2009 Author Share Posted March 14, 2009 Mine did that all time... it got to where if I needed to warm up the car I would crack one of the back windows so I could get back in if it locked itself. looks like im going to have to do that for i dont wont to be holding on to two keys. My recently purchased 95 has a viper remote start/alarm and every time you start the truck, once the engine fires up, the doors lock, and once you turn it off, the doors unlock. The PO warned me that they do that. Kind of pisses me off too. Ya my alarm well only lock if the door is shut and you start it up. If you start it with the door open it well not lock untell you push the lock button on the door. idk. Did yours only do it in the cold or gust all the time?

adamzan Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 It does it all the time. The PO told me that it once locked itself with his kid in the truck. On that rig, none of the key locks work for some reason. He said to always keep fresh batteries in the fob. I've heard that the lock actuator can mess up on these trucks. My DD pathy hasn't given me any issues, thank god. Maybe temporarily keep the fob and key separate so you can at least unlock them until you get it fixed?

jrodmorris1015 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 does it lock all the doors or do you only unlock the driver door? had 85 cutlass that would lock driver door every time you closed it, hinge pin was wore out so it caught funny and locked it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morpheus Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 If one of the door locks or actuators are siezing up, one of the doors might not be unlocking 100% of the way (partially stuck towards lock) and when you slam the door, the vibrations caused it to flip back to the locked position, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94extreme Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 this is actually a pretty common issue.. there have been several threads on this.. it has been a while though.. i'd say a couple of years at least. look around deeper in the garage areas if the search gives you fits. there could be several reasons: morpheus hit on a couple - the most common and it could be related to the install of the alarm. it could also be lack of lubricant in the locks and the system too.. thus things sticking.. and i think the most common and the easiest to fix is the plug in the door sometimes comes apart enough to couse these roving issues. check all the locks (the little posts) on all doors when you lock them and unlock them. see if they are going fully up and fully down. one of my outside handles sticks and it will cause the locking system to go crazy if not returned fully to it's resting position. the actuators are in the doors. you'll have to open those up. i never leave a key inside without at least one of the windows being down. a few years ago i was camping in WV mountains and got locked out late at night.. thank goodness i had all my sleeping gear out and set up... got a coat hanger from an RV next door and broke back in.. what freaked me out in the morning though was that i arrived at the campground just minutes after a bear went thrashing through and making a mess, which i did notice upon arrival but didn't know the cause. i just figured it was sunday night so this was the mess after the weekend crowds. it would have sucked if the bear returned and i had not place to go.. i think my glasses were in the car too. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it starts locking itself like that, don't touch the handle and unlock, lock, and then unlock it again. It should work. I got this down to an art on mine and everyone who rode with me knew about it to. As it was said, this IS a common problem and there have been some write ups on it. I just found it easier to live with it since there seemed to only be a few people who actually "fixed" the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edicer2 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 both my 93 and my 92 do that idk why i am going to lube them up this summer i think they are dry and one of them isnt locking the way it should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morpheus Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I've come outside to leave school and found my doors unlocked, twice now. I make 100% sure they're locked before I leave it. I don't know if some smart ass knows how to unlock the doors or what, but it's getting old. Even though there is apparently hundreds of thousands of combinations for the key fob's, there's bound to be duplicates, the idea is just that the chances of them actually ending up near enough to each other is rare. I've seen at least 4 or 5 times that 1 key fob will lock/unlock more than 1 car at the same time in the parking lot of the dealership. remote possibility that someone in your school has the same frequency fob as you do.

94 Pathy Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 (edited) That's Funny Sheot! I can laugh about it cause it happened to me many times! I've been locked in and locked out. Thank goodness when I was locked out, it was in the Summer and I had the sun roof out of the Pathy. I bet it was funny watching a grown man crawling up onto his 4X4 and dropping down the sun roof to get into the vehicle. Electrical units on these vehicles are iffy! The only thing I could suggest is to clean the connections really good. Good luck! Edited March 14, 2009 by 94 Pathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
