Default central locking gone wrong

ok u lot been a while since i had a problem lol was bound to happen sooner or later

found out why my central locking wasent working the person befor me had removed the fuse

so i put in a 15a fuse as recomended unlocked passenger door all opens nicely locked passenger door all now lock right i fort try drivers side jus to make sure its all working good

went to drivers side to unlock it made the noise then made the noise again tried the door and it had unlocked and re locked it self along with all other doors n boot so i went and unlocked it from passenger side all unlocked fine then tried to lock on the driver side and it done the noise twice again leaving the hole car open

any ideas what this could be?

usually its either the motor, or the wireing where it goes from the car to the door through the gromit. check wireing 1st then get to scrapper and get another motor to try

easiest thing to try first is spray wd40 on all the locks etc .....

some times if the catch cant be locked by the motor it unlocks as it think its got excessive resistance force!
