2005 Chevy Cobalt door lock and shifter problem?

I spilled about half a cup of coffee into my shifter console. Now the shifter sometimes wont engage into drive from park.


Also the power door locks open randomly - even when the car is off and in park and after I have locked it with the remote control.





Would taking apart the shifter console and cleaning the electrical components help or is something else going wrong.





Any ideas on how to take apart that console. Could it be a blown fuse?

there is a mechanism in there, probably got gummed up and is sticking. Take it apart and use a can of electrical parts cleaner to try to clean it up. If not you will have to replace. FYI that is not going to be a fun job, quite a bit involved in getting to the release mechanism.

ive had the door lock malfunction happen to me too and it was indeed electrical, If it was a blown fuse it wouldnt work at all but you can check, look in your manual to see where the door lock fuse is. You could have a short in the wiring where the coffee was spilt too. to save money i would buy the how to do repair book on it and figure out how to take apart the console if you dont already know how, then see if any wires r damaged, if they r then u have eliminated one problem
