Hi,

My wife had a Citreon Xsara 1.4 LX that has a quirky issue with the central locking. Sometimes the car will lock fine on the remote, other times it unlocks itself straight away.

I've been told it could be a wiring issue in the drivers door or an actuator (whatever that is), and i was wondering is anyone had any ideas or whether this has happened to you.

The car may be unlocking itself because it thinks that one of the doors isn't shut properly - just double check and ensure that they are shut properly. The system may sense this from the interior light switches or switches inside the door locking latches, so check these as well.

It could even be a faulty locking motor or a stiff locking mechanism.
