forgot to say that the only way i can lock it the car is by disconnecting the battery and locking it manually so it doesnt unlock itself
the car will sometimes stay looked for sometime and sometimes if the car is moved it will unlock
any ideas guys and girls?

It's normally a sticky linkage on the front master locks, that causes this, so need freeing off.

WD40 is a bad thing to use, other than for degreaser, as it dries things out, sort out the linkages, then use a light silicone grease on pivot points etc, never use wd40.
