My 2004 Saturn Vue''s power locks just quit working. The car didn''t unlock when I put it in park and it won''t lock when I put it in gear. The power lock inside the car and the remote won''t work either. I hear clicking from the relays, but that''s about it. Any ideas? Thanks

Unless I''m mistaken (highly possible), placing your vehicle in park will not cause your doorlocks to release - you have to shut the engine down, and remove the key (unless you unlock them manually with the button).


Since your doors will neither lock nor unlock, my first place to look would be the fuse panels ... good luck.

It does unlock when I put it in park, and locks when put in gear, or at least
use to. I found a blown fuse and replaced it several time and they just keep
blowing. I didn''t find it before because it was listed under relays in the
book. I may have to just take it in.

Sounds like a shorted wire, or possibly a shorted actuator, especially if you keep on blowing fuses. Speaking of fuses, check your manual, and make sure that the fuse is the correct rating for the circuit DO NOT PUT AN OVERSIZE FUSE IN THE CIRCUIT FIRE HAZARD!!
