hi guys.

please help me out with my focus that has a mind of its own.

the central locking is playing up. when the car is driven it has a tendency to operate the central locking. you can hear it working the locks as its opening the locks, this can happen3-5 times in the space of about 15 seconds. if thats not bad enough, it will actually lock all the doors completely and the only way to open them is to stop, turn off and take the key out of the ignition and unlock the doors with the remote key, because the doors wont even open manually.

this would be very worrying if the missus or i was out with the kids and heaven forbid something happened that we had to get out pretty quick and the bloody doors were locked.

it wasnt so bad a few weeks ago, because it would only operate the open action occasionally, but now its near enough every time we go out.

please help, frustrated.

 

It sounds to me like it may be a faulty GEM, may be worth getting it scanned for error codes.

yea cheers for that, but i have been told that the problem might be as simple as sticking locks and mechanisms. i will give them a right good soaking with WD and then go from there, if not then it might become a little expensive.

 

Yes try that first, btw I replied on your thread in Focus room to
