Subject:Re: ( Vanagon) power locks malfunction

Listees:
My power locks "sometimes" go into a funk where they will cycle up and down
until the front doors are shut...and then always in the locked position. The
cycling can be broken by opening BOTH doors at the same time; then the locks
are up/opened.

I have always assumed that there is a short in the wiring  and had planned
on tearing the doors apart to investigate when I found the above trick.

So until you tear your mechanisms apart...this might work for you too.
