'07 LT coupe with 8200 miles. The door lock switches on both doors are non-functional. The doors still lock and unlock with the remote. They also lock automatically when i start driving and unlock when i turn off the ignition.

Anyone else experience this?

 

More than likely what has happened is that the aluminum rods that attatch the the lock switches to the lath have beconme detatched. It still makes sense for those to malfunction and for you power lock to work. I would take it in for warranty work. They should have it fixed relatively quickly if that is the problem.

 

^^^ True.

 

Finally got around to looking into this problem. Turns out it was just the switch that went bad.
No, there's no aluminum rods attaching the lock switches to the latch, that's just retarded.
I unplugged the driver side lock switch, and it made the passenger side start working again.
So, I swapped the switches, putting the good switch in the driver door and the bad switch, unplugged, in the passenger door and now I again have working lock buttons on my driver door. Yeah eff the passenger, they don't need to play with my door locks.

It's still under warranty, why wouldn't I take it in? I don't want to take the chance of some hack working on my car, maybe adding a few warranty repair lines, taking **** apart and putting it back together half-assed (for those that don't work in the car business, it happens way more often than you think).

 

yes, there are actually 3 rods that connect to your door latch...look again

glad you solved the problem

 

yes there are rods that connect to the latch, but in no way do they connect to the lock/unlock switch, that was my point.

 

Having the same problem. I ordered a new switch from the dealer for $14. Hopefully this will solve the problem.

 

Makes no sense to not take it in for a free under warrenty repair.

 

The rods are fine. As said, the RKE functioned properly as did the auto locking feature whenever the vehicle is in gear (Or moving for the stick shifts). If the RKE and safety locks work, then it is not the actuator rods. If it is only the inside switches that are inoperable when the button is pressed, it is either a bad switch, a loose electrical connector, or a blown fuse.

 

After replacing the driver's side switch it works fine now, passenger side still doesn't work....I'm guessing it has a faulty switch as well
