Mondeo Electrics - ASG

My 99 2.0 Ghia Mondeo has developed an interesting electrical problem. The fuse for the central locking / alarm is now regularly blowing (no common theme of circumstances or time interval between faults) On replacement the system functions OK for another few days or even weeks. Not sure if it is a wiring or component snag.

Does anybody know if this is a common problem or have any suggestions about the cause before I enter into a potentially long and costly investigation with a dealer?

lo m8 i had the same problem its the lock(s) sticking or jammed what you need to do is take the door panels off and disconnect 1 lock at a time then lock and unlock to find which one is blowing the fuse or just oil them to free them worked for me anyway

My 2003 2.0 TDCi had a fault where the doors didn't lock, indicators not work, and other things. It was the ECU that was faulty. Fuses didn't break, and we did look at a lot of them, to no avail. That was a warranty job, thankfully.
