the lock solenoids on all doors keep cycling when they are locked, none of them will unlock electrically, i have to use the key to open the door and manually pull up each lock shaft for the cycling to stop. none of the door or key fob switches lock or unlock.

Does it not stop cycling until they are all unlocked? or can you isolate it to one solenoid being moved that makes it stop?

Sounds like it may be a problem with the GEM (Generic Electrnoc Module) or a relay (relays are above L/R wheel well of vehicle)Need to get to the relays and see if the GEM is triggering the relays with partial power Pink-Lt/Green wire
