Well, my 02 SXT has the doors lock at 5mph. Maybe that's what you're noticing.

As for the "FUSE" display; it's possible you've blown a fuse. Check your fuses behind the little door at the driver's end of the dash. You have to open the driver's door to see them.

Could be a fuse, bad ground or dead/bad battery. Those seem to be the 3 big causes.

Not sure. I forgot to hook one ground up, tried starting the car, it smoked, instantly killed the battery, and displayed fuse until I recharged the battery.

i think i found the problem its in the button for the door chime when you open the door or close it on my part i think its got a short in it cause it will come back on until i start driving then just stops found that out cause when you open the door your mileage display comes on and when you close it it goes off well i closed the door and it went off but a few sec later it came back on how do you fix that

If the 2000's are like the 03+, the button is connected to the door latch. You have to take it apart and check the wiring. Mine came apart due to the crappy factory placement of it.
