I have a 2003 PT LImited. The door locks intermittantly lock-unlock lock-ulock, lock-unlock several times regardless of speed, it happens while idling, driving forward, and backing up. About a year ago the spark plugs had to be changed and the problem stopped briefly. It is now happening again. Can you please tell me what I should look to in order to fix it?

The RKEM (remote keyless entry module) is the problem.
Only a DRB-III scanner can program the transmitter codes and VIN number to remedy this problem....I hope this helps.

Drivers door lock unlocks intermittently with key fob

Steve, I'm AL the owner of Big As Auto Repair.

When a door lock is active intermittently it can be a couple of things. (1) The door lock actuator can be a the point of going bad.(2) The Key Fob unlock button can be bad and you have to press it several time to work OR if it is unlocking the door by itself at time a sticking button can cause this issue as well. Hope this helps and have an awesome day. If you like visit my auto repair website here: http://www.bigasautorepair.com/

Locks unlock and lock constantly

With factory controls the door locks get there signal from the body control module and can be set to lock every time the car gets above 15 mph if a door jam switch has a intermittent connection failure this could cause the door locks to cycle at will.
With a aftermarket alarm most lock and unlock with the key cycle and loose grounds can make these modules cycle the locks at will also.

2003 Dodge caravan sport. First, the passenger sliding door lock was not responding to lock and unlock. Only intermittantly. Now, the driver sliding door is copying it. Sometimes, only one does it, th

No, not so strange. - Happens a LOT. Sometimes you can get them working again by cleaning the electrical contacts that are on the front edge of the door and their mating contacts on the "B" pillar area. If cleaning the contacts does not get them working again, then you most likely need to replace the door lock actuators inside the doors.

I have a 2003 Hyundai Elantra. The remote locks the doors but sometimes it won't unlock the doors. I have to go to the passenger side, press lock on the remote, then press unlock (I can hear the 'clicks'...

Possible issue with the remote controller unit - main board or sub assemblies. The intermittent behavior seems to indicate that the board is erratic to detect at the same time the individual locks work at times.
So make sure all the connectors to the door and to the main board controller are tight. You can remove the main unit and check for any loose connections or clogging, specially water in all the door units or in main unit. If so dry and test.
Otherwise the main unit is a suspect.

Originally my passenger door on my 2003 Chevy Trailblazer EXT would not always unlock with the FOB. Was an intermittent problem. Then last friday my driver and passeenger doors would not lock or unlock...

fast blinking lights are a sign of a burned out light bulb. Door lock actuators wear out. Since all the actuators operate every time you lock or unlock the doors, it's not unusual for multiple actuators to go bad

I have a problem with car door locks locking and unlocking while I am driving on a 2005 Chevorlet Cobalt

does it happen at miscellaneous times, or is it at specific times, i.e., when you hit a certain speed, etc? If it's intermittent, then you may need to replace or clean the switch for the door locks. If it's at a certain speed, then most Chevrolet cars and trucks past about 1998 or so will have an automatic locking device that keeps kids from escaping while the car's in motion. They can be programmed to actuate at different times, so you may want to look at your owner's manual to see how to set yours, if you feel that it could be this.
