98 Protege Electric Lock Issue - 9/4/2008 6:10:19 AM

I feel like I''m driving Christine! This car is possessed. The electric locking system randomly starts locking and unlocking as I am driving it. It is itermittent and sometimes does it rapidly then stops for a while and starts again. Sometimes the locks actually go down and up but usually it just makes the noise and nothing happens. Sometimes it actually gets loud! It also happens when it is just sitting outside with no key in the ignition. I don''t have a manual-does anyone know what fuse I can pull and if I pull it, will it affect other electrical items? Thanks!

Check your automatic lock keyfob. You want to look at the red light light that indicates the mazda factory alarm is armed. If you see it blinking when the locks flicker, then that is it.

If you have an aftermarket alarm, viper, python etc. YOU''RE SCREWED!! Unless you know the guy that installed it...

if u have the stock power locks from mazda u can pull the fuse without losing anything else since its the only thing on that fuse...
if u look down on the driver side u''ll find the interior fuse panel... u can eighter look in the fuse cover should have a diagram of the fuses ( shold be 4th from the left and 5th from the bottom) in the cover should be under (D.LOCK)
