    Hey guys.. need some assistance.. I went into the garage and i heard a noise coming from my runner. Come to find out it was my power locks. They keep going up and down all by themselves and there was a clicking noise under the hood. Sounded like a relay click. I was on my way to work so I didn't have time to mess with it. When I got home, the battery was dead. Of course. So I disconnected it and charged it up. Hooked it back up and tried it again this morning hoping that it may have reset itself. The alarm went off when i hooked the battery up and nothing changed. The locks are still doing the same thing and my ignition is also locked up. Won't turn over... Any advice from all of you is appreciated.

    Push gear selector forward into park till it clicks this should resolve the ignition issue. Find the relay that is clicking and pull it, swap in a different and see f the problem persists. If it does begin tracing wires you either have a short or a bad switch. Good luck
