Hi all,
So I just finished doing the last of my tune up on the 91 FJ80 and things work great. I finished my summer oil change and ran out to the store for some groceries, wondering what maintenance surprises lay in my future.
My truck tried to lock me out.
When I came back to the cruiser after getting groceries, the damn thing wouldn't let me back inside. I'd put my key in the door and as soon as I turned it, the door would lock again. Ignition was off, no keys in, lights off. I tried the back and passenger doors, same results.
Luckily, it only did this five times before letting me in. Still, though...
Previously, I had a weird problem with the doors all unlocking when I went for a drive, after the vehicle was running. So there's that, but I didn't worry about it too much- it was way down at the bottom of my priorities.
I don't want to get locked out when I'm in the bush...
So: how can I disable the power locks for the doors? I don't want or care about power locks, so is there an easy way to bypass or disable this system? I plan on fixing it, but I don't want a lockout situation in the near future.
