Default central locking problem

my passenger side door does not always lock, it always unlocks,
all connections are good so that is not the problem. has any one
else had this problem with there series 1 or 2.
i think it could be the solenoid.
open to suggestions
Cheers

Same probs here.
Think its the actual lock. When you turn the key, the passenger door cant lock & gets confused, so opens up the drivers side. Well thats whats up wiv mine anyway.

Mine done exactly the same thing and i changed the solenoid. Since then the passenger door doesn't respond at all to the driver's door even though the boot works fine and it was a new solenoid so i just gave up

S1 and S2 systems are so different you can't compare them. With the S1, start by finding the central locking module in the front foot-well and clean and inspect all the connections.
