This problem often occurs with SVX. The trouble occurs when the driver tries to release the lock (the passenger side is moved by an electric actuator) and the passenger touch it at the same time.

The repair method is very simple, just remove the actuator and reassemble it.
Noriyasu, does your SVX have a security module in the dash? My dash wires were altered in some way and no module is present. The power locks/actuators also do not work, but the locks themselves do.

I'm glad your long drive also went well! The SVX is very good in poor weather, though I wouldn't drive my current one in the snow as I am also afraid of the ice melting agent's effects.
