That will NOT deactivate by pushing the rocker switch, and using the fobs doesn't change it either. I can start and move the car, but cannot open the trunk or the FUEL DOOR (so I can refuel my vehicle!). Anyone have an idea of what's going on? Again... lights flash when I push buttons on the FOB, so it's transmitting, but nothing is unlocking on the vehicle. 2005 SRT6. Thanks in advance!! BoB
Possible water in the right bay under the hatch where the central locking pump module is. A test of this, poke a hole in the right side lower bay rubber grommet (from underneath rear of car slightly behind rear axles). If you find water, that is a major clue to what is wrong. IF there is water (unless it already dried), you will still have to open the hatch for access to check/replace the pump module. There are methods to opening the hatch when the pump will not (or could not) open the hatch involving removal of the license plate lamp assembly (help file listed in the site document collection). Come back after seeing if there is water coming out of that rubber plug, if not you might still have to open that hatch anyway to see if there ever was water in the pump assembly. Good luck!
