Default Central locking problem ... most annoying!

Hi guys,

My Sapphire Cossie is playing up with the central locking system.
This morning when I engaged the alarm/c-locking the doors locked and then unlocked again.
The alarm engages fine and if I open the door (which SHOULD be locked but isn't) then it triggers the alarm.

Every time I engage it, it locks and then immediately unlocks again ... :/

Any ideas ? ... anyone tried this before and have some good advice ?

Sounds like a door lock is sticking, then thunking its not closed. Wd40 all door locks, then try it.

Exactly what he ^^ said, it will be one of the master locks that is sticky, i.e. the driver or passenger, when the C/L pulse times out, the offending one is "Stuck in the middle" so it simply reverts, lube both the locks and should be job jobbed
