Default locking

yeh, the escorts have a funny locking system. try it from the passenger side???? it'll be a problem with the horseshoe sensor on one of the locks.. any decent auto electrician will have fixed these before... or if ya handy whip the door panels off and have a look for yourself... hth

Default locks

the horsehoe which wraps is self around the lock is loose or wires are shorting or just knackered. take door panel off and have a look.. maybe disconnect one at a time to find the faulty one...

Yeh this is a common fault.It could be worse it could keep unlocking itself like my cossie used to do.
