On my car, a fully loaded 1995 Camaro Z28, I have a power lock problem. Â*Currently people who I have shown this problem to are flabergasted and tell me its something else. Â*Ive had about 2 different "proffesional" opinions none of them make sence.

When I bought the car in October, the power locks button did not work. Â*You would press the button and nothing would happen (on both sides) but the previous owner insisted they worked, yet he didnt know why. Â*If you spark the battery on positive, you will hear the locks lock & unlock. Â*It was sold WITHOUT the original key-less entry pad. Â*The owner said they were lost by a previous owner.

Now in November, I had an aftermarket alarm system installed. Â*One of the techs said the keyless entry was not working with the new system, and said it would have to be "activated" by GM, and that they had to remove a previous aftermarket alarm system.

So a month or so later, I went to my local chevy dealer, and tried to explain to the guy at the counter what my problem was. Â*That the alarm was installed, and I had no power locks still or keyless entry. Â*A friend from another forum had said the same thing happened to him, and he had to rewire his entire alarm system in the car, and it was a good chance the Keyless entry module was no good. Â*The tech looked at me like I spoke french, and insisted I check for shorts, or cut wires.

Well my dad and I took off the door handles to inspect for any obvious cut wires, it was too cold out to even begin to take off the door panels.

Well within a week the battery started to die for unknown reasons, one night I went outside and I heard a motor spinning inside the drivers side door. Â*I didnt know what it was, but the only way for it to stop was to hold the button down for the locks. Â*So my solution was to stick a nail and hold the button down. Â*Now this has caused my stereo to come back on after I have opened & closed the door (killing the battery) Â*The way its supposed to work is the radio should stay on untill the door is opened, even with the key out of the ignition.

Now what the hell is wrong with it? My power windows work, everything works except for my power locks, and keyless entry. Â*Boon (MisterJuice) & Joe (89TransAmWS6) have listened to it, and didnt understand it.Â*It just sounds like a motor spinning uncontrolably in the drivers side door.

Cliffnotes :
- No powerlocks
- No keyless entry
- Wierd motor sound
