Was Where is the common electrical leak? Now Lock Module

["jtrealtywebspannet" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

This part is very undercapacity and WILL fail causing the battery to 
go dead, burn out the door lock solenoids and trap you in the car. The 
only sensible thing to do is (If you won't upgrade it) disconnect it. 
There are several options if you want the system to work from doing a 
"plug and play" Lockzilla to changing some parts inside the lock 
module. For many who are not adept at doing electrical work the 
Lockzilla is the easiest and safest way to go. For the more 
adventerous there have been many discussions on the DML as to what to 
do. Each owner must decide what to do but consider this, In a resale 
situation I think a Lockzilla is much better than something you 
"invented" and would show the prospective buyer you took care of the 
car and only did the best you could to it. Eventually the car will be 
sold so remember we only "take care of" the cars for a little while. 
The better you treat the car the higher the resale value.
