Your door lock problem could be a bad door lock switch... or the actuators themselves. If it turns out to be the actuators, get them replaced at Best Buy... trust me they can do it.

As far as bypassing the egr I'm not sure about that. Sorry I couldn't help.

where is this beast ?? >>>bad door lock switch ? where is it located ?

when i press the door lock switch it works but the door locks flitch and don't move

[mr_jiggy_fly79]

that suck bro!!

cool thing about the Best Buy Guys though, i wasn't aware of that!

How many miles? Red or yellow check engine lite? door locks flitch but don't open, all four or just one or two?

[johnnyzee]

if the switch makes contact then it is mostlikely an actuator is shot.

what is the egr? I only know where the door control unit is. It's behind the hiding-place opposite the pasanger. You must take the hiding-place off and than it is on the right side...

[Eye8Pussies]

the egr is the round thing right aboe your intake plenum

and on how to plug it, make a search...I don't remember how....but somebody had posted a long diy a while back

[rusty9]

bypassing the egr valve or any other emmission control devices is illegal

you can see the cause of your check engine light by jumping the terminals te1 and e1 in the diagnostic connector under the hood near the passenger side strut mount. the check engine light will blink out a code which you could search for here.

also about your door lock problem, it could either be the actuator like people say or the ignition interlock. the doors will not lock if the key is in the ignition and a door is open (or if the ecu thinks a door is open)

i have a yellow check engine light

all four doors flitch
the car has 316,000km

i want to bypass the egr to get rid of the check engine light

Well for your check engine light, why NOT just have it diagnosed b/c it could be something bad....

My $.02
