Concours 3-door central lock problem?
Any one know of this?
Our 3 door cossie seems to be draining the battery, when you touch the connections of the battery terminal you can hear the actuator in the passenger door and bootlid trying to move, the central locking all works fine and has never skipped a beat. the car only has 7k on it so we dont fancy cutting the plastic on the door!or replacing unnessesary parts.
what could this be?are there deadlocks etc?
thanking you gents!

sounds like one of the door solinoids isn'tgoing full travel so the system then tries to open the door it won't do that so it tries to close it and it won't do that!!
my guess is it will be the pass door, the 3 door doesn't have a solinoid in the drivers door, remove the lock mechinism then oil/ free all the pivot points and it should be ok.
