Door Lock Circuit Protection
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Dodge Pickup and 2004 Dodge Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If the door lock switch is actuated continuously for more than five seconds the instrument cluster will turn the output driver OFF (the instrument cluster would consider the switch stuck). Each lock motor is protected with a Positive Temperature Coefficient device that prevents motor burn out.
