Door locks?

    Can anyone explain how the power door locks are supposed to work on a '93?

    I noticed when I first got it that the front passenger door and rear hatch would not lock, neither by key nor by knob. Later, after I started using the driver's door key to lock the driver's door, I noticed that I could lock all the doors. I use the driver's door key to lock the driver's door and actuate the other three lock knobs on the inside first. I then can lock or unlock the hatch with the passenger door key.

    I noticed tonight when replacing the battery that all the doors emitted a clunking door lock sound as I connected the second terminal of the new battery, and some of the door lock knobs moved, too.

    What's the secret to this system?

    Power door locks? high tech!

    Sorry I know nothing on those systems but usually the brains of the entire operation is the drivers door switch.

    You're pretty high tech in that van. Us older truck guys don't have those luxuries!
