[DML] Re: Driver's side gullwing problem

John - Here is an option for you to consider.  If the solenoids are, 
in fact, toast then you can replace both solenoids with actuators for 
less than the cost of one solenoid.  The upside is that the current 
draw for the actuators is a mere fraction of what the solenoids take, 
so the door lock module will operate with far less stress on it.  If 
the relays inside your door lock module are burned (from the high 
current draw of the solenoids), we have replacement heavy-duty relays 
that are rated much higher than the originals.  Some soldering 
required, or you can send your door lock module to us, and we can 
replace the relays for you.  If you simply replace the old solenoids 
with new solenoids - you will be back in the same situation 
eventually.  Search for "wings" on our website, and see what is 
available.

news about. Do I need Lockzilla or something, or should I just go for 
a reconditioned/rebuilt solenoid? I noticed about a week ago I had a 
tiny problem unlocking the door right away but it was sporadic and 
didn't worry me. I guess I learned my lesson!
