94 Formula locked me out and radio turned on
I pulled in to work and parked a couple days ago.
I sat there a few minutes and the radio was on and fine. I got out of the car to go to work and as I opened the door the radio turned off like it should.
I closed the door and hit lock on the key fob, but my key fob wasn't locking the door (I couldn't hear the actuator clicking). I walked back to the car and began trying to unlock the door locks thinking my seat belt was caught in the door. (The seat belt no longer seems to retract properly )
I tried locking and unlocking with the fob and was getting nothing. Then my radio kicked back on! No amount of locking or unlocking seemed to be working so I peeled both my smooth locks off the doors and tried to use the door key to unlock the door. Passenger side would turn but nothing would happen, and the drivers side wouldn't even turn at first.
Finally the drivers side unlocked with the key and everything seems normal again, and has been fine since. But I'm worried it's going to do this again and leave me stranded as the radio coming on would drain my battery.
Any ideas what might have happened?
