Problem: Lock\Unlock working intermittently, panic does not work, option/trunk does not work

I have already tried the following: Replace remote battery, Re-program remote, had car battery tested at Checker, replaced fuse, cycled between silent and beep mode numerous times (as mentioned in one of the threads I searched for)

Notes: The alarm itself will arm and disarm everytime, Driver's door locks/unlocks 80% of the time, passenger door locks/unlocks 20% of the time on the second unlock push. Noticed that the LED on the remote lights when either lock or unlock is pressed, but not at all when panic or option buttons pressed.

I finally made some progress in troubleshooting tonight when I sat inside of the car and tried to cycle the locks. Here is what happened: First press of the lock button locked the drivers door but not the pass, pressed the unlock and I could hear the locks trying to cycle but not moving, with each additional button press I could hear that the actuators were getting weaker and weaker until they finally stopped trying and I could just hear a clicking noise coming from the dash area.

Conclusion: There is not enough juice to actuate the locks.

Questions1) Is there some kind of capacitor that stores power for the locks? (my battery seems fine, starts the car without any problems) (2) Should the panic and option buttons activate the LED on the remote?

BTW this is a MY2000, any ideas will be greatly appreciated!

 

OEM alarm?

 

Yes, it is oem.

Update: Well I am a dumbass and realized that I wasn't holding the panic and trunk buttons down long enough to activate them.

I still have the problem of the lock actuators not having enough power. It is strange because I figured they were ran off of the car battery... and my battery seems fine. If it has enough power to start the engine is should surely have enough to lock/unlock the doors....... WTF?

 

you might have a draw somewhere

 

Probully have it wired wrong.. the s2000 requires two five wire relays for door locks..
