2005 interior door lock switches not working??

[tcsracing1]

Anybody know what to look for when the interior door lock buttons no longer function?
(bare in mind my fan control is also now not working)

could it all be fuse related?

This might be a dumb answer for you, but, are you checking the handle after you hit the switch? the locks make no sound at all when locking or un-locking. I thought mine were not working at first because I heard no sound.

Lol, if you have a gen 3, you will get a little "door unlocked" status on your gauge cluster. It dissapers when the doors are locked.

are there supposed to be little illuminated lights in the switches on the doors?

I finally broke down and read the manual to learn about the Viper locks. The viper's locks are what they refer to as virtual locks. That means that when they are "locked", that only means that the outside handle has been disabled. The message on the dash will tell you when they are unlocked.

What really confused me was the 18mph rolling lock. Once the car gets to 18mph, the doors lock - meaning that the outside handles become disabled. And they don't unlock when you park the car, like most other cars do. So it's easy to lock yourself out of the car.

Glad I could help.
