Engloid,
I have a keypad entry system and my power locks sometimes work and sometimes don't. when they don't work from the keypad they also don't work from the switch inside the door. It appears to be some kind of intermitency - the problem is usually worse when the weather becomes warmer.
Do your remarks pertain to a '93 maxima?
By the way, my (original) radio also has a similar problem in that usually just one of the four active speakers work when I start the car, then a few minutes later the rest come alive as well as the power antena. Thinking that's it's the radio I intend to purchase and install a new one.
Any comments?
Thanks

Pull the panel from under the steering wheel. Above your right knee is a black box that the wires from the ignition switch go to. It's a timer for the door locks. There's 2 harness plugs going to it and 2 screws holding the bracket on..take them out and box will come out. The internal card in the box will come out the end with connectors. Pull it out.
Then if you look on the bottom, all the solder joints are exposed. Get a pointed soldering iron and heat them all back up to ensure good connection.
On mine, I could look on the end near the plugs, and there was a spot with 2 rows of about 6 joints...and 2-3 of them looked like they had little or no solder added originally. I dabbed a bit more on there and the door locks work now.
There's a guy on another forum that will fix them for $30+shipping...what the heck...I'll do it for that also if you don't want to do the soldering.
