Hi all, recently joined and wanted to say thanks for all the info posted. It's helped correct various problems with a recently purchased 96 C4.
I do have a question though that I've not been able to find a definitive answer for. I've worked on the PKE system on the car and have had to replace the PKE module. The system programmed successfully with two new fobs but wanted to ask about how the power locks are supposed to work when PKE is off (manual mode). Currently when I hit the door button on the fob when the doors are locked only the passenger door opens/unlocks. My owners manual explains how to program and test the antitheft system but doesn't explain completely how the system is supposed to operate when the PKE system is off.
When I purchased the PKE module, the first one installed operated this way and I had the Chevy place warranty out the part for another. The parts guy seemed to think the module was defective. The second module operates the exact same way.
Little more info. Both door locks function correctly with the power lock buttons on both doors and both doors lock and unlock with PKE system on or active.
Just want to confirm when the PKE system is off/inactive that only the passenger door is supposed to unlock when the door button is press on the fob before I close up the dash.
Thx in advance for the help.
