I bought the car with it already installed and was all in working order. Out of the blue while driving it started locking then unlocking the doors repeatedly with no regular interval , once I parked car it stopped. Now when you push the beeper or lock driver's side door you can hear relays pulling in from one of the boxes but nothing else. Its got a good fuse. Anyone done anything like this.

Also I dont know anything about it except is has an grey oval beeper with a pink and a green button, may of came from super crap but im not sure. Anyone know from the beeper description what brand it is?

disconnect one of the front doors. ( I take it you can lock the passenger door and the other follows) the rod has moved just enough to make it oscillate.

I'll be out that way tuesday if you want me to have a look at it.

Are you saying the the rod from the servo may have slipped down where it piggy backs onto the orriginal locking rod making it not work?

correct. tear the door down and look at it closely. (do the passenger door) then hwen you adjust it back into place disconnect 3 wires - wht , brn,red (or blk) and tape them off. this will prevent it happening again. the grn & blu wires need to stay connected as these are the motor drive wires.

When you used to lock the passenger it WOULD NOT lock driver side aswell.

Sounds like the main earth wire (or power wire) coming for the cental locking control module is loose. It's fairly common that when the power is surged on and off (as done when a wire is loose) it jolts the system enough to make it lock and/or unlock the doors each time.

If the piggy back mount had come out of adjustment this would more likely cause the locks to unlock when you atempt to lock the doors or vise versa... not continually change lock to unlock to lock.....

sub,

depends on how much they slip. if you have two doors connected as masters and not master/slave (which is how I do them) then they can oscillate. good point on checking the wiring.

Now that i think about it... yeah it would be possible if both front doors are set as masters and both piggy backs slip in oposite directions. You would have to be very unlucky though... but yes possible.
