Hi everyone. My driver's side power lock switch will unlock both doors but, will not lock either of the doors. When I press the lock portion of the switch on the driver's side I noticed the battery guage dropping quite a bit. The passenger side lock switch works fine. Any ideas what the problem could be? The car is 91 GT convertible.

Thanks

Lou

switch needs to be replaced. the switch iisn't working when you press it to lock and it's heating up the wires and drawing a lot of current. the switches aren't too expensive.

Thanks for the input. Sounds like an easy fix to an annoying issue.
