I have a '97 Z28 with power locks and remote entry. If I hit the lock or unlock on either door, I can hear a switch under the dash on the passenger side click. And when I hit the unlock or lock on the remote there is the same click sound. But neither door will unlock or lock. I am assuming its not the switches as they both make the (relay?) click.


Any ideas?

Check your fuses. Mine did the same thing when a fuse blew.

 

i have this same thing only fo rme its on the driver side only and it will sometimes work. i dont know what it could be.

 

I have a problem with mine as well, I have an aftermarket alarm system so it may be a problem with that. I can set the alarm with the remote and the doors lock but when disarm the system the doors don,t unlock, I have to use the key.
Niether switch works so I don,t know whats wrong.
I am gonna have the installer of the alarm system ckeck it out and make sure that is not the problem and then go from there.

 

I didn't notice any blown, but like I said, I can hear the relay clicking, so ther must be power.......................

 

May want to check and see if any of the mechanical parts of the door locks are getting bound up. I had this probelm before, but not with a Camaro it was an 88 Beretta GT that had power doors. The relays would 'click' on and off every time I hit the remote or used the power door switch on the door, but it would not lock or unlock. If I used a key or pushed the door lock bar over by hand it would work. It ended up being that the mechanics were bound up bad enough that the power system would not work, but it was not bound up bad enough that I could get it to work manually. Just an idea to try.

 

Any other ideas?
