:roll: Hi Grumpy. I had posted this question about a week ago on the intro page
but never got an answer. I thought I'd try moving it over here.
When I bought my 81 Coupe the power door locks didn't work.
Upon taking the door panels off, I found all the wires pulled
out of the switches and hanging loose inside the doors and
causing the battery to go dead. After tracing and checking the
wiring I installed new pigtails and switches. This fixed the
problem . The lock switchces now each lock both doors and set
the factory alarm. The problem now is when I lock the doors
and set the alarm with the switches and exit the vehicle, when I
close the drivers door the alarm goes off. I then have to insert
the key in the lock and unlock the door manually to shut off the
alarm. Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.
