electrical involving door locks, dome light and key alert 200

okay, this is one weird situation.

The rear hatch lock started acting up about two months back, just after I had the wring harnesses replaced by the shop. It would unlock but not lock. May have been happening for months, I don't check that the hatch is locked after I errr, lock it.

I figured that I would look at it when the rains stopped. Then about a month ago the left rear door lock joined the party. unlocks fine with driver lock, but won't lock. Twitches a bit when I lock the driver's door, but doesn't lock down. Fine, still waiting for the rains to stop...

Yesterday weird stepped it up a notch.

1)
When I lock or unlock the drivers door none of the other doors lock or unlock. no twitching, no sound, nothing.

2)
The dome light (which is set to go on/off with door opening) didn't go on when i opened the door.

3)
When i switched the dome light to always on to see if the bulb was dead, the key-in with door-open alert starts pinging. Stops when the dome light is in off or follow door settings. Dome light did not go on. Visually it looks fine, and with no bulb the switch in "always on" did not trigger the pinging.

4)
If i pull up and hold the driver's door lock, or push down and hold, the key-in with door-open starts pinging.

Of course if the key is out of the ignition i don't get the pinging with door locks or dome lights, but that makes sense, the key is out :)


At this point a lesser man would claim possession.
