Hi, every nownagain my central locking goes a little mad, sometimes when you lock the car the catch will go down thus locking the doors but then they'll come back up and just keep going up and down by themselves. It's not just the drivers door it's the whole lot thats locking and unlocking.
Usually putting the key back in door and unlocking then re-locking cures it and they stay down.
One thing Ive noticed is that the drivers side rear door latch doesnt seem to go all the down as it should, and my thoughts are that it's catching on something inside causing the whole system to behave abnormally.
If the door cards weren't such a bitch to get off I'd of inspected it by now.
Anyone had any similar problems?
Very annoying

The lock mechanisms just need lubricating.

^ What they said - take your door cards off and get the mech out completely. Cover it all in WD40 and make sure it's well lubricated and refit - This will cure the problem for a while.

That sounds like a dodgy microswitch on yours. Easily replaced though.

It's inside the door and unplugs from the loom. The plug will be wrapped in foam for protection and clips to the door handle mechanism at the other end.
I think I've got a spare somewhere too - I'll have a butchers!
