The list is still growning.  You don't even want to see or try to imagine what my headliner looks like now -- just in the past three days about 1/4 of it has decided to come down -- so I put it back up with a bunch of screws.  I know I need a new one, but in the mean time I've got to keep it up somehow.  And then there's...

Oh wait, I did have a specific question:

When I use the keyless entry to lock the car, it will activate the locks, start the alarm, but then the driver's door lock actuator sort of hickups and pops back up.  And you know what happens when you use the drivers door lock -- all other locks follow -- so the vehicle will just come unlocked.  In fact, sometimes it sort of almost goes back up.  That's when I can do like the Fonz and sort of pound the door and like cool magic, all the doors come unlocked.

Anyway, what's going on here?  If I pull the door trim off what should I be looking for?

Every day, literally, something else goes wrong with it.

You might want to try cleaning all the pivot points in the lock linkage in all the doors. But if I had to guess, I'd say the lock control relay is the source of the problem. I took mine out and reflowed some of the solder joints -- it fixed the problem for a day... I need to chase the grounds and make sure they're sound, but I intend to do the "2 relay kluge" from Dweeb to replace the lock control relay.
