according to Socal240sx.org, all s13 convertibles manufactured in 1993 have power door locks.However, mine doesnt work (if thats the case).

What should I check first? I tried to look for a fuse, but I didnt see any that even relate to that. Also I think I have a short, cuz the right turn signal on the front is dim, and when my headlights are on, it blinks fast. Thats another story I guess.

the doors could not by unlocking each other because the door lock timer unit is f-ed. It's located on the passenger side under the kick panel. It should be on it's own subharness from what I can tell from the layout diagram.

As for the headlights and turn signal, I checked to see if they shared the same ground, but they don't. The ground for the headlights is located beside the air box, and should be mounted the upper radiator support (if you have an FSM to look at, it's harness plug E41).

Hope some of that helps

Thanks. That does help. I figured out why the headlights were going fast, it was because the front passenger side bulb socket was all dirty and looked like it had some metal/copperish residue.

Im still stumped on the door locks. I will check the unit tomorrow morning.

Thanks for your help
