Trying to figure out what's wrong with my central locking today.
When I tried to lock up with key remote, passenger door locks then immediately unlocks and no lock sound from driver's door, so neither door locks.
I opened both doors and pressed the key remote - the passenger door started repeatedly locking and unlocking but no action on driver's door.
After a number of attempts using the key remote, even the passenger door stops responding to either key remote or key in driver's door lock.
If I leave it a while then the passenger door lock responds again to both key remote and driver's door but after several times it stops again.
When this happens, locking either door by key individually, if I lift the handle, the window drops a little like it would if unlocked. This happens on both sides. Trying again later and this doesn't happen.
Then if I leave it a while or if I use the battery isolator off and on again, the passenger door lock starts responding again but not properly. It again locks and unlocks immediately using the key in the passenger lock, drivers lock or remote.
It all seems quite random. My guess is the unit that control's locking and unlocking is getting inconsistent signals but I don't know for sure.
Which side is the problem on? The passenger door handle seems a bit doughy when lifted but the drivers door lock mechanism doesn't seem to respond to key remote but works with key in the lock and sometimes unlocks the passenger door at the same time.
