Hello,

Well, I need some expert advice. I think I have fried my "Door Control Module" ...but I don't know for sure...here is what happened:

The locks started to unlock/lock very fast (I could not stop it btw...), and after about 20 secs of this, the locks came to a halt, right side first, then the driver’s side. The clicking continued (from the DCM in the dash) until I took apart the lower part of my dash and unplugged/uninstalled the module. Prior to unplugging the module, the locks did not work (between the time they stopped clicking back-and-forth, and when I unplugged the module)

Does this sound like I fried my DCM, or something else? Please let me know what you guys think.

Thank you for your time and help.

Edit: The locks will work manually one each side, but the drivers side bottons don't. (The drivers side botton stoped working when this whole thing started)

if you have a car alarm, it seems your alarm's brain is going.

I unplugged my alarm system, and it did not help the problem...so it is not a alarm problem for right now...

I pulled the thing out of the car that was making the noise...it says:

Door Control
Toyota
85980-20370
12V made in Japan

i have no clue what i do now...i guess i buy one of these DCM and see if that fixes it....

Please, anyone who has gone through this problem, or can provide any more info, please do...

thank you

I've done stuff like that before. While diagnosing an electrical problem I was having, I blew out all 4 headlights, my windshield wiper switch and my power window motor.

Good luck

Exactly, i was messing with the alarm, and it all went to hell once i did some stuff i should not have so i have learned my lesson

**** HELP *****

Did this solve your problem??

Mine all of a sudden don't lock or unlock.. I can hear something clicking in the dash for all 4 position (Driver and Passenger Lock and Unlock) but it doesn't actually unlock the door...

Any have any pointers or tips on what it might be??

Thanks!

**Update**

My dad and I hot wired the door actuator on the drivers side... (Blue/White & Blue/Red wires) it locked and unlocked... but only locked the passenger side.. didn't unlock it... not sure that this is telling me but if ANYONE has any ideas... PLEASE let me know ASAP..

Thanks!

.... found the Door Lock Relay... I hot wired it from there and both locks will lock and unlock.. so i have no clue what to try now.. i'm not sure if the relay is bad.. or if the other leads to the actuators are having a problem... UGGG if anyone has any ideas, let me know..

thanks!
