I just purchased a 01 Intrepid R/T. Fully loaded, everything on it is perfect except my door locks. I've heard this probelm from alot of people with no solution. I can unlock my doors with the power locks but I can't lock them. When I go to drive, it tries constantly to lock my doors, but it won't. I have to lock them manually, but you can hear it clicking constantly trying to lock them. I've heard everything from a bad ground wire in the switches, to the celenoids being bad in the door locks. Has anyone hear had this problem and how the hell do you fix it?

thanks

 

Celenoid is a possibility. Sounds like the locking mechanism is not getting the "signal" to the locks or the other motors in the car. Take a voltometer and check all your wiring to see if they are all getting power, then you can move from there.

 

I actually found out the problem was the guy before me installed a after market alarm system. Silly me....
