Central Locking Problems

[ChrisJ]

Im wondering if anybody can give me some pointers on this.

My locking has started doing what it wants too!!!!
It deadlocks for no reason as you are driving, takes 4 plips on the key fob to unlock the car as it keeps bouncing but always locks fine?

I have just disconnected the battery for 30 mins we will see if this works but i doubt it will!

Help much appreciated

mine has been doing the same for months , i got it to stop locking by pushing the connector on the central locking module which is under the dash (drivers side) but im still having to push the key fob 3 times to open the car .have tried ecu reset and reprogramming the key and am now led to belive that it has something to do with a module in the drivers door

yea i had a feeling it was a mysterious module in the drivers door, its strange as after i reset the ecu it eratically did what it wanted too until i started the engine then once run the problem has gone! for now anyway, fingers crossed!!

Bloody computerised junk!!!!

Had a similar issue on an old Pug 206, turned out to be the Solenoid in the door.

Had a similar problem on my wifes Toledo , the button on the key was worn & sticking down causing the central locking to open/close at random . Had to have a new key from the dealers

well it still seems too have cured itself! i will bear these things in mind, I also had a 206 once and had to replace one of the door locks because of a similar issue!

How strange!! mine done exactly the same thing today (for first time) pressed the unlock pip but it just made the unlocking noise but stayed locked, this wouldnt have normally resulted in a post. however it was pi$$in it down!!
