Help me with my NOISY ML door locks!!!!!!!!!! I got quoted months ago for this to be fixed, but I decided to wait on that repair @ a cost of $675 on top of my $2500 repairs that couldn't wait. I don't remember what they said the problem exactly was (I was too pissed at my repair bill!), but just wanted to see if anyone has also had this problem. What's going on is when I am driving, my back passenger door lock will start going WILD. Sounds like someone is kicking on my door like 7 times in a row!!! At first I thought it was maybe the CD changer in the truck malfunctioning. But it is clearly the door locks. Mostly happens turning corners, but sometimes if I'm at a light and start going it does it. It is VERY noisy from both the inside and outside. EMBARRASSING! ALSO, my passenger and back pass. door DO NOT LOCK. Anyone experienced this, or have any ideas????

    Sounds like the lock actuators are failing, need to have a tech diagnose this, but I can't find the parts anywhere but at the dealer

    sounds like your lock relays may need to be checked
