Just looking for a bit of guidance to see if anyone has seen this problem before and possible solutions before taking it to the dealer and dropping who knows how much before its fixed and all said and done.Ī switch getting wet can also cause lock cycling. I am thinking it is possibly a bad ground or one of the lock buttons has gone bad. However the inside lock buttons DON'T work. The key fobs still work and all the locks will lock/unlock properly they just do it randomly. Just yesterday I was outside cleaning up and could hear the car locking and unlocking itself. You don't even need to be in the car or have it on for it to happen. Dumb.Recently I have been having problems with my Wife's 08 Saturn Aura XE. Early GM can-bus systems are very complicated and the strategy employed to protect us all from polluting cars is to throw unhelpful codes for poor electrical signals. It took me some time to arrive at the conclusion that the grounds on these particular cars are not great-the ground on the shock tower, driver side is also suspect, there is actually a TSB from GM about the ground points on these cars. Seriously, a guy I know gave me this car for free because the dealership had no idea how to get these issues to go away. If you have the XR, there is a 4 gauge wire that goes from the left-front radiator support (up top) to the battery-this one has always been a -problem, if I loosen it or disturb it in any way, I end up loosening it and moving it around to get it happy again. I invariably have to play a little dance with the connections at the battery-even though all connections are immaculate, tight and prepped for conduction. Whenever I disconnect the battery for any reason. Don't overlook the ground solution too, these things are notorious for doing things like this-case in point, I've had my 07 XR for 5 years now (was given to me for free) and I still have an intermittent issue with the dreaded 'traction control/ESC/security/whatever else can make the dash look like a Christmas tree problem.
