I am slowly getting the little bugs out of a 96 D1. I’m finally to the point I am taking it for occasional daily drives. I am having the issue of parking it, locking it with the FOB and it will occasionally activate the alarm without anything causing it. As such, it still can’t be a daily driver because I cant lock it due to never knowing when the alarm will activate. Frankly, I wish I could just deactivate the alarm function.
For background on this, it didn’t come with FOBs. I purchased 2 and sent the 10AS and FOBS off to be programmed and 10AS checked out. They programmed fine and the 10AS checked out good.
I installed it and immediately realized 4 out of the 5 doors’ power locks didn’t work and or worked poorly. Driver door is the only one that reliably worked. I repaired the others. All 4 had broken lock springs. One actuator was dead (split open) as well. I replaced the springs and the bad actuator. The locks all then worked as they should.
I know the hood switch is a place to look. Anything else common to look at for the cause?
Thanks in advance,
Terry
