Problems with the central locking. Frequently on first start up the central locking will lock itself. Scarily this has happened once while stationary and me out of the car. Please don't tell me its a bad earth I know it is an earthing problem unless me car is gaining its own consciousness like Christie. Where is the most common point of bad earth causing this. Oddly on the key my central locking does not work at the moment.

Some of the more complex car alarms have this feature Toad etc
Check that it is not caused by your alarm
This feature can usually be disabled

There is no alarm system. Car is protected by extreme violence.

mostly the central locking faults come down to poor connections in the drivers door connector, disconnect it and check all the pins for corrosion and clean up where needed
