I have 5 doors on my car and no desire whatsoever to go back to the days of manually operating the windows and locks on all of them. Face it, flat earthers  - there are some 'conveniences' that make so much sense that they quickly become standard features. |
I miss my manually operated windows, especially when I had a $350 repair for one of my power windows. On the other hand, I readily admit they are convenient for controlling airflow/refreshing cabin air while I drive. I also admit that power door locks make 4-door car lock/unlocking easier.
But power door locks have their own foibles. I had a whacky problem when my car started "machine gun locking/unlocking" the door. Fortunately in that case I was able to :
1 - Temporarily disable the power-locks by pulling a fuse.
2 - Order new door lock button and door lock actuator.
3 - Fix it myself. The front driver side door lock button was worn out.
So now I have a spare door lock actuator. I suppose I will able to use it for something else.

You know how they have websites dedicated to disabling DRLs (Daylight Running Lights)? You could probably start one for disabling car honking in different car models. In the easy case I have to think it's just an extra wire going to the horn. Snip and done!
