2007 chevy avalanche electrical issues

I have a 2007 chevy avalanche and the door locks are locking and unlocking by themselves and the radio station changes by itself at the same time as the door locks are unlocking and locking whil I am driving. Shortly after that, the lights inside and out turn off and then back on. What could be causing this crazy behavior?

You need to remove the carpet on the passengers side and check the wireing harness,take off the tape and visually inspect it.You are likely to find broken splices ,bare wires or wires shorted to each other or to ground.

2007 chevy tahoe touch screen radio will not respond to touch, everything else works fine.

If the electrical contacts that go to the rear door lock are corroded the lock/unlock switch will not work. Spray WD-40 (with the spray wand) from inside the truck into the space between the truck and door on the passenger side. A few squirts near the top and upper side will give enough electrical conductivity to energize the lock.

I have a 07 Avalanche LTZ that will not unlock the back doors and tail gate when the unlock sensor on the driver or passenger door are pressed or if the unlock button is press on the keyless remote.

unfortunately it is probably the lock actuators on all three, this is a known problem on those, I have worked at a chevy dealer for along time and have seen this many times usually due to water intrusion in the connector at the lock actuator, have been lucky a few times and been able to clean the connectors..

Good afternoon....what would cause my 2008 Chevy

It could be the power lock motor. You could have a short or bad wiring harness. Might just be a fuse that connects to both. But since you said it's only the driver side. When the power lock motor is bad it can trigger your alarm because they're wired together.

Hope that helps. Good luck.

Chevy Impala Door lock issue

Which is it, 98 Eclipse, or 06 Impala? Either way, your door lock actuator is stuck in the locked position either electrically or mechaically. The way to check this is to remove the door panel and unplug the actuator. If door lock can now be moved then you have an electrical problem (faulty door lock switch or faulty door lock module). If you still cannot unlock door then actuator is mechanically bad and must be replace (usually the case)
