Hello all
I can use the central locking to lock the car's four doors from the driver's door. However, two things have been happening. First, when you unlock the driver's door it doesn't open the other three. Second, the car has been unlocking itself after, perhaps, 10 minutes of being 'locked.' Obviously the second problem is worrying.
You can, however, lock and unlock all doors from the passenger side but the unlocking problem still occurs. My thoughts turn towards:
(a.) A door that the central locking is detecting isn't closed (although I tested the doors and courtesty light goes out with each as it's closed);
(b.) A problem from the driver's door not sending the signal through the looms to the other three;
(c.) Blown fuse - haven't checked this - but then wouldn't that prevent the locking from the passenger door?
What to backroomers suggest?
Cheers!

I'd go for a) on the passenger's door. WD40 time?

Thanks, Screwloose. I'll give it a try and report back.

Well, I tried the WD-40 solution, but no better. The car's still still unlocking itself after various periods: immediately; after 10 minutes, etc. There's no pattern to how long it stays locked for. Grrr!
Any ideas most welcome, all!
Thanks in advance.

Just had a thought - what about if I removed the 20A fuse for the central locking? Would that solve the problem? Or would it just prevent the car from locking.

That would just return things to manual locking; that would be the cheapest way out of the problem.

Have a 94 Punto Selecta so wiring might be different.Your fault re unlocking appears to be in the control box where there are various relays reversing the current for unlocking.My control box is adjacent to the Auxilliary Fuse Box in glove Box.
Your 'Self Unlocking' is almost certainly in one of the door locks (I had a similar problem).Each door lock has a (mechanical) switch which senses the door is closed. The interior courtesy light is a much cruder affair and does not indicate the door is truly closed. Hope this helps.
