2003 Camry Power Lock Problem

[jackfin3]

It's my honor to be new to this forum. My 2003 Camry has a difficulty with intermittent failure of the power locks. When the car is cool, as parked overnight in the garage, the power locks work normally. When the car heats up the locks fail. I can open the drivers door with the fob but the other 3 remain locked. The master control on the drivers armrest is the same. I've Googled, Asked, Yahooed and talked to my dealer without success. A guess by my dealers service adviser is the "junction box" must be replaces at a cost of $567 to $770!!!! Any wisdom you can shed on this problem will be greatly appreciated. Best regards.

Exact problem for me too. Hear the weak click of something trying to open the doors. By the time I am home after running the A/C, everything fine again. /Dan

My 03 Camry XLE front passenger door will no longer lock/unlock. For a while there it would work sporadically. I'd like to just get it fixed but I have yet to find a solution on what it could be so I know what to look for/what to change.

Did anyone ever figure out what it could be and what to replace/how to fix it?
