This just happened today

I went to unlock my car and the lights didn't flash to let me know that the car was unlocked? I looked at all four locks from inside the car and they lock and unlock fine, but the lights don't flash what could this be?

yo bro, that happend to me too does it just happen a couple times? or all the time is it stuck like that? when that happend to me it was a sign of one of my door actulators going bad. you should just keep an eye out.

Check the trunk and the fuel filler door... if they are open they won't allow the car to flash the lights. Either that, or the actuators are going bad... I'm in that same boat...

I check the truck, its closed the filler door its closed. I reoped all the doors and closed them twice. Still not flashing??

Mostl likely, you have a bad actuator. I asked the same thing, a lot members pointed me to the right direction: BAD actuators.

It there some type of test to find out which one is going bad or gone bad?

I might say check your hazard lights. Go inside the cabin and push the hazard light button. Check and see if the lights are flashing outside. If they are not it is probably the plug not being plugged into the back of the hazard button... or it is the fuse for the hazards. The lock/unlock functionality is all based upon the hazard system.

hope that helps...

That's the problem, I have the clock,radio,HVAC out because I'm changing the color. The hazard wasn't plugged in, I just put it back in and the lights now flash. I guess that the hazard button closes the circuit, good call joe!

modding up the turn signals wont let them flash either...

What do you mean?

I have LED turn signals installed, as you know LED's draw less power so the stock flasher relay would function only as if one of my signals were burned out; flashing rapidly. Had to change to a relay that's rated for the low power LED's use. The drawback however, is that my signals don't flash when I arm/disarm my alarm.
or I could have changed some sort of setting with out knowing....lol

You need to use something called a resistor... It makes the computer think that you are drawing 12V which is what it is looking for... a normal LED uses I think 5V therefore, it will flash rapidly. I have LED turn signals in the rear and I had to resist those bulbs because it would do the very fast flashing thing. Now that I have added the resistor, the signal flashes normal, and the lock/unlock works just fine!

Thanks for the input, I remember I had a set of those, on my first car... but I'm good with my current set up, dont really care if they flash or not, as long as the doors open, im good..
