Hi guys
I've read the other post recently re this and it seems my symptoms are slightly different so just putting it out there to all you wonderful gurus for some advice if I may....
A normal unlocking procedure today via the blipper left me with the alarm being turned off but not unlocking the door so I had to unlock with the key and as I did so and opened the door, there was a series of 12-15 lock/unlocks from the door mechanism itself. I thought that was a bit weird but everything else on the car worked normally so I carried on. Now though I have the following situation whereby pressing the blipper will arm the alarm and you can hear the locking of the door but this is immediately followed by the unlocking of the doors although the alarm is still set and will activate on opening the door.
Pressing the blipper again turns off the alarm but there is no noise from the door locks - presumably as they are already unlocked? Anyway, now I cannot physically lock the doors, either with the blipper or the key as they keep locking/instantly unlocking so whilst the alarm can be set/turned off the doors cannot be locked so hardly ideal!!
I've done a 30-min battery reset, checked the relevant fuses (33 & 40) and they are fine but can't find any reference to relays and which one controls the door locking - is there one and if so does anyone know which one/where it might be please?
Also there seems to be nothing obvious obstructing the locks externally so basically, I'm stuffed!! Any ideas please folks??
Cheers
