Piston Slap: The Body Control Module Electric?

Gary writes:

Good Afternoon,

Today when I got into my 2002 Saturn SL2, the power door locks started chattering. Each door, over the space of about 45 minutes, had the same thing happen. Sometimes it would be one at a time, other times it would be two or more. I also noticed that the inside locks – the “up/down” button, not the little lever you use to manually unlock the car – would not work, only later to work. For now I have removed the lock fuse and that stopped the problem. I wait and plug the fuse back in, and the sporadic chattering once again begins. Sometimes it is completely quiet. Any thoughts?

Thank you!

  • EBFlex I come across stories every single day about how bad the CyberPuke is. It truly is amazing how bad Tesla screwed it up.You know that a vehicle that can make the fake lightning seem decent is a horrible vehicle. Ford designed one of the worst "trucks" in history and then Tesla came along and said "hold my IPA".
  • Cprescott I have watched a series of teardown videos by Munro and Associates (sycophants to Tesla) and cannot believe the hoodwinking that was done with this POS. There was no way it was ever going to sell the golf cart with a bed for the price they said. I cannot believe all of the space those motors take up - so huge and expensive. And the battery pack is the size of Rhode Island!
