Central locking, locking itself

[Ozzieborne]

Hey guys,

Strange problem, never happend to me before, but when i unlock the car, a couple of seconds later, it re-locks itself. Its a bitch coz i have to hurry up and open the door before it locks again.

When its locked, it stays locked. It doesnt unlock itself, which is a good thing i guess.

Anyone got an idea what the problem is?

i have the exact same problem mate and im very keep to know how to repair it !

the problem is more than likely the grey box which is directly behind the glovebox. check no wires are interupted or broken. if there are no signs of breakage or earthing then buzz them for connection status

yeh that junction grey box, is under the glove box, and about 20cm by 10cm, and like vtr-tec said check that, as mine as broke and i changed that but its £60.00 from shitroen.. so well expensive.. but hopefully your's is just wiring not the whole unit

basically they get water damaged if you have a leak and make them malfunction. touch wood its the unit and not the wiring though mark as wiring takes ages!!!!

Ive had the same problem a few times, first when I locked it , it popped open, thenthe other day I opened the car and it locked itself, good job the window was down..

Same happened me, my central locking started locking itself because water was getting in. I woke up one morning to find my battery dead because the car had been unlocking and locking itself all nite. Check the circuit board that the sensor is attached to, if water has got to it the copper will be all green and corroded. Just give it a wipe with sum steal wool and that shud be it sorted. Could be something else though, but i recommend u check this out first!

Ah rite, thanks for your responses guys. Much appreciated.

So if its coz of a water leak, does that mean it will only happen when water gets in? Coz ive been driving around today and the problem seems to have stopped...
