Yesterday 1/19/06 my power locks stopped working, don't have a clue why. I can hear the gas thing locking and unlocking. Idk if it'* something with my wiring or not because sometimes when I unlocked my car with the button on the door, it would honk... strange for sure. And then this morning my car wouldn't unlock with out the key, and wouldn't start. Could this just be a simple power issue? The starter is clicking... I may need more gas, but I don't have a clue about the whole unlock=honk thing, it was rather humorous for a little bit there. I tried it with a battery bosster, but I couldn't sit there for long, I had exams at school today.

Sounds like you're VERY low on power. Try charging your battery and try it again.

apparently it started, but I think something has to be draining the battery, it'* almost brand new... any ideas? locks stuck in on position? or something?

Agreed...battery is nearly dead.

How old is the battery and was the alternator charging it? If so, then you have a draw of some sorts we need to help you determine.

How often does your ELC run? Do your struts leak? That'* the most common drain on an older SSEi.

My mechanic told me the front strut was leaking when he replaced the lower control arm(rightside) about a week ago. Isn't ELC in the back? And the battery was bought new in October and the alternator works, last time I knew.

Now that I think about it I do hear a pump of some sort running, it'* on the right side of the engine compartment if you're looking towards the rear of the car. It goes on every now and then... Sometimes a lot.

The ELC is in the back yes. The part Willwren is talking about is an air section that helps to lift the car. Won't necessarily show up like the oil in them does when it starts to leak.

Is the pump I'm hearing for the ELC or what?

sounds like the ELC is leaking and then the pump runs to keep the pressure in the shock. Causing major battery drain.
