Door lock - Ignition chime problems

[Andrew Lundy]

Joe--

Just so you know....the wire your looking for on your car is Brown w/ White
stripe.

The easiest process to fix would be:

1)  Pull off the rubber grommet and ensure that the post isn't broken and
the screw is tight.
1)  Pull the switch (hopefully you won't lose any wires).
2)  Ground the Brown/White wire with a jumper.
3)  Lock your door and see if your alarm activates (make sure all the other
doors are closed).
4)  If no alarm, check your other doors.  Repeat these steps until you find
the faulty switch!!!

Good Luck!!
