Saturn Repair: 96 Saturn SL1 Door Locks, saturn sl1, automatic door locks


Question
My '96 Saturn's automatic door locks stopped working all of a sudden. When I try and hit open or close all four (its a four door) begin to make a fluttering type of sound. I can hear a mechanism within each door trying to do something, but to no avail.

If this helps, the drivers side door lock button is really loose.

Are the fuses or relays going bad?  

How do I fix it?

Answer
Hi Johnny,
This could be the infamous key problem. I have had it many times.  If the key in any of the doors ins't turned completey back, the locks will be in a state of intermittant locking and cause the fluttering.

Put in the key into every door's slot and make sure it is turned all the way unlocked.

Hope that helps. If not, I haven't got an alternate solution.
Sincerely,
Greg Moore
