Electrical Problem

[1992 BMW 535i]

My door locks don't work from the outside, yet will work when activated from the inside. If I try to lock the doors using the key, it puts the electrical system in "suspended animation" for a few minutes, not allowing me to open windows or so forth. Anyone have any ideas?

When my locks get out of syncro, I just disconnect my battery and touch the pos wire to the neg wire for a few minutes and reconnect my battery and voila, they work again. you could try that

I'll give that a shot, thanks! Also just noted that the ground has become disconnected from the hood.
