What have u tried so far? i.e fuses, electrical testing, etc etc.......   As for the doors locking, isn't that supposed to happen as a safeguard against leaving your car unlocked? Think it might be anyway

Ive seen this before, but it was a long time ago, iirc the fault was in the overhead interior light, it either had water in it, or something was shorting out, drop it down and have a look...

so far checked all fuses and they are all fine dont know wot electrical testing to do with the doors locking themselves it does not even give me change to put my boy in his seat before it locks itself even tho there is 1 or two doors still wide open it does not seem to register that the doors are open so prob why it keeps locking it self it driving me mad  i cut the cable on the alarm horn as thats driving me round the bend going off all time coz it will lock itself then you will close the door and it sets it off  :smiley:
