Title: Central locking
Post by Andycan on Jun 3^rd, 2014, 12:00pm

Hi my doors won't lock as when you lock them with the key they just unlock themselves straight away. I have checked and all locks lock and then unlock including the boot so could this be a short somewhere in the wiring?

Disconnect the battery for 10 mins and try again.

Did you try with the filler flap open to check that lock is working.

I just did some tests.
Using the remote:
If I leave either rear door open the car still locks.
If I leave either front door open the locks cycle but don’t lock.
If I leave either front door open & unplug it’s connector on the door pillar the other doors lock.

With the key:
As with the remote except it won’t attempt to lock if the door you’re locking is open.

So if you unplug the front doors in turn & find the car then locks with one unplugged you’ll at least know which lock to look at.
