2004 Saturn Ion Power door locks keep randomly locking, int

There is no bulletine or issue with having to shim up the front door jamb switches on the ion's that i'm aware of like there is on the vue model's.I would be looking at the rear door jamb switches I have seen issue's of water getting into the switches/wire's setting the alarm and dome light's off.

Didn't know you had a quad coupe until just now glad to hear you got it fixed though. Now you just have to find the water leak that caused the corroded switches and terminal's.

If you have corroded electrical terminal's inside the car then you have water getting in somewhere. You will have to have someone run a hose over the car while you are inside looking for water coming in.

Condition

Some customers may comment that the front foot well carpet is wet after the vehicle is exposed to sustained heavy rain.

Cause

After sustained heavy rain, water may accumulate between the speaker frame and the speaker plastic drip cover. The accumulated water may wick through the lower speaker attachment bolt hole and run down the inner door panel and leak into the interior compartment under the doorsill trim plate.

Correction

Remove the drip cover from the speaker frame and apply KENT(R) HIGH TECH SEAM SEALER - CLEAR TRANSPARENT, or equivalent, to the back of the speaker frame where the drip cover contacts the speaker frame following the procedure below:

1. Remove the side front door trim panel. Refer to Trim Panel Replacement - Side Front Door in SI or the appropriate Saturn ION Service Manual.

2. Remove the speaker.

3. Remove the drip cover from the speaker frame by unsnapping the four locking tabs on the cover near the fastener holes.

A small flat head screwdriver may be needed to pry back the cover.

4. Apply a 1/4 in (6 mm) bead of KENT(R) HIGH TECH SEAM SEALER - CLEAR TRANSPARENT, or equivalent, around the speaker frame where the drip cover contacts the back of the speaker frame.

5. Install the drip cover to the speaker frame.

6. Install the speaker.

7. Install the side front door trim panel. Refer to Trim Panel Replacement - Side Front Door in SI or the appropriate Saturn ION Service Manual.

8. Repeat the process for the other front door.

9. If the carpet near the door speaker on either side is wet or has a musty mildew odor, or moisture is present under the carpet, pull back the carpet to allow fresh air to dry the carpet and padding. A small fan may be used to aid in the drying process.

10. Verify that the musty mildew odor is gone and the carpet is dry. If the carpet still has a musty mildew odor, refer to Eliminating Unwanted Odors in Vehicles in SI or the appropriate Saturn ION Service Manual. There's the water drips out by the speaker grill.
