When I start the car and put it from park to drive and back, the drivers door lock works fine. The other 3 door locks don't even make a sound. Neither one of the door lock switches work at all and the remote entry doesn't do anything. ( lock unlock trunk or panic). Everything else works fine in the car. The remote has a new battery and was tested that it is sending out a signal. What can I do to fix this issue. Thank you.

One highbeam is very dim and my interior dome light stays on very dim. Other than that everything is fine. Thanks for answering.

From the symptoms sounds like a bad body control module its really common for them to go bad on those cars.I have replaced tons of them you can get the body control module scanned for codes which I diyer or auto parts store cant read those codes.But it sounds like. Bad body control module.

I have a 4 door 2.2L Saturn L200. Recently the power lock button on the car doors stopped working. It appears to be something with the power lock circuit relative to the power lock buttons. All power lock buttons are non-functional, but all power locks are functional when car is in gear (the doors auto-lock), and when the car is turned off and pulling out the ignition key.

I don't know where to look to check the wiring/switching for the power lock buttons (assuming that is the problem.) I have not reset the BCM yet (which was an idea posed to someone with a slightly similar problem.

I would have your body control module scanned for door lock codes let me know the exact code numbers not code descriptions?The diyer scan wont read the body control module.

So the door won't open up at all?Even if you manually open the door?If that's the case then you have a bad latch or bent lock rod linkage.When you use the power lock's with the tab on that door go up and down when locking and unlocking?

Alright if you have power to both side's of your body fuse in the right hand fuse box then you have a open in the circuit from the fuse to the switches on the door's.Now check the orange wire to your driver's power seat switch it should have power.

Sound's like your going to have to pull that fuse box loose and see why those fuse's don't have power.You could try moving wire's around while looking for power to those fuse's.
