On my driver's side I can lock the car doors, but I can no…

Customer Question

Hello, on my driver's...

Hello, on my driver's side I can lock the car doors, but I can no longer unlock, which I'm guessing half of the switch is working and half isn't. On my passenger side If I remember well, I can neither lock nor unlock. Also my lock on the rear door on the driver side isn't affected by anything, it has to unlock and lock manually all the time, putting the car in park or drive doesn't even control it, which I'm guessing is a whole other problem. Am I correct?

Mechanic's Assistant: Is this your first time dealing with this issue?

I've had the car for a while, but yes it eventually got to this point

Mechanic's Assistant: What is the model/year of your Saturn?

Aura XE 2008

Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Aura yourself? What have you tried so far?

I want to, nothing yet, I'm just looking for possible reasons to the problems I have

Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the mechanic to know before I connect you?

Yes, My rear speakers work fine, but the 4 speakers upfront they come in every so often(not much) and it stays on for short periods and cut back out. What could possibly be the problem there? Also, my cigarette lighter under the armrest seems not to be working could it be a fuse?

Also, I would like to know why I can't hear my signal when I turn it on, and also the little chiming sound when my car doors open?Also my signal lever doesn't click back after making the turn. What do I have to change to fix that?

Customer reply replied 1 month ago

I went to double check. I do hear my signal but very faintly, and the only sound I hear from the car is when i put the key in the ignition but that is also very faint, but there is absolutely no chime when I open my doors

I 'm Sorry to hear you are having these problems with your Vehicle, In some cases, I may need more info to assist better.
I apologize for any delay. If you respond and I do not respond back right away I will do so as soon as I can.

Please Ignore Phone call Request for now maybe not be needed here, I'm Sorry the website sending it not me and there will be extra charges for it
But if you prefer a phonecall, Just let me know & I will be happy to call you

you have too many issues listed here and all can be related to the electrical issue?

how did started, all things went haywire suddenly, or they started malfunctioning oned at a time gradually?

what is the mileage on the vehicle?

the Window switch on the driver side is the Master switch and is a common failure? but more testing needed cause the wire connector to switch could also be making poor connection

speakers is a different issue, have to check AMPLIFIER for no sound

Are you looking for the most possible causes or you are repairing it yourself.

Please Let Me Know

Thank You
