AU1 Central Locking

Help my AU1 sedan has developed a nasty little habbit of unlocking it's self. It appears to be quite random when it does this and is quite concerning. Any help would be greatly appreaciated.

fordman is right. Search is your friend, and just for the next 2 minutes (while I type), I'll try to be too - once a week JC special.

1. When it unlocks itself, does the horn beep at you?
2. Or is it just that you lock it, leave the car and come back to find it unlocked?

If the first option, it means a door is still open when you locked it.

If the second, then it means the door actuators have broken, and only sometimes work. Whichever door is open after you lock it is the door actuator you need to replace - if it's more than one, then it's probably worth doing them all. You can get them repaired through a bloke on ebay on an exchange basis - cost is around $65 per door, IIRC.

Hope this helps, in addition to using the Search option on the menu bar.

Mine has started playing up to

: All doors will lock but then all doors (not one) will open after a random amount of time. Can be 10 mins or hours. Twice whilst driving in the car all doors have just locked for no reason. I haven't retrained the remotes yet or reset the ECU (BEM). Does anyone have any ideas?
