Hi I just picked up my LS last month. I took a '95 on trade for my Dakota pickup. I must say I'm really enjoying it so far, fun car.
A few days before I took posession of it the previous owner said the passenger lock and keyless entry were acting up. There are 2 issues.
A. Keyless entry remote does not unlock doors-It has an Avital keyless entry/alarm system installed with #1 (audible) and #2 (silent) buttons. When car is locked, neither 1 nor 2 unlock the car, but they do disarm the alarm. The remote does lock and arm without issue.
B. Passenger side lock switch does not lock doors-The passenger door lock switch unlocks the doors when pushed up, but it does nothing when pushed down.
Is it a coincidence that this happened at the same time or is one causing the other? Where do I start to diagnose the problem? I'm thinking the passenger door switch might fix both issues. I am currently pushing 1 or 2 to disarm and then using the key to unlock the doors.
The other issue is the ABS light. It comes off and on periodically. Sometimes it stays on for a period of time and then stays off. Other times it comes off and on in 30 second to a minute intervals for maybe 10 minutes or so. Most the time it is off. Does not seem to be related to any particular driving maneuvers. All brake fluid levels are good.
Thanks in advance and hope to stick around. I am also a member on some local offroad forums and started my forum participation on a Dakota forum.
