I have a 2001 Buick Park Avenue with the RAP system that allows several accessories to continue functioning for ten minutes after the engine is shut off unless one of the doors is opened.
The other day it developed an issue where opening any of the 4 doors no longer disabled this feature, none of the doors activate the dome light either.
The only other problem I have found is that the manual power door lock switch's on the front doors do not function either but this car locks all doors when you put it in gear and unlocks all doors when you go to "Park" so these manual switch's are rarely used. The remote also works fine so this issue may have been here awhile and be unrelated but I just did not notice.
All other switch's on all the doors work normally.
Any ideas on what could have removed all the doors from the RAP circuit simultaneously?
I also could not locate any fuse labeled "power door locks" in any of the 3 fuse boxes or in the manual but I did check all the existing fuses and found none blown.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I did check all the fuses with an ohm meter, I should have mentioned that the dome does work manually (pushing the buttons) and does come on when you unlock the car using the remote. Just not when you open any doors.
I have a manual with all the wiring diagrams, what am I looking for?
I verified the ground to the drivers door ( I did not want to remove all 4 door panels because I thought having all 4 doors lose ground simultaneously was a bit far fetched)
Is the dome light the common element between the RAP system and all the doors? That sounds promising as a culprit somehow.
