Central locking

Post Wed Oct 07, 2015 1:15 pm

Sometimes when I look the car, using any of the looks, the car locks but the immediately unlocks itself again.

Any ideas?

Mine does that when one of the interior door handles isn't pushed back into its rest position. Sure someone can shed some more light on this for you but that may be the cause.

Thanks, I don't think that is my problem though because I've been locking and unlocking the car just now without doing anything else and it's still temperamental

My passenger door does this sometimes (10-20% of the time I'd guess). If I unlock and try again, it usually works.

Interested in the fix though!

I've already got the red wires done

Bump, any ideas? It doesn't seem to me to be a wiring issue because it only happens immediately after locking. If it were a short or ground then wouldn't it happen at any time? Does that mean it's more likely to be the central locking control box in the drivers door pillar?

locks could be jamming when trying to lock?
