Cherokee lock-out

Hello. I've got a '93 Cherokee, and the central locking's started playing
up. If I press the fob, it'll lock all the doors with a suitable clunk, but
if I press it again it won't unlock -- there's a clunk, but it's not as loud
as when locking -- then I have to use the key to open the door.

The fob has three diagonal rubber keys on one side, the central of which is
longer than the other two; the central button's the one I use to lock/unlock
(maybe these three strips are all part of the same button...). Could it be
related to using the button on the inside of the door to lock them all
simultaneously? I've tried both fobs and the same happened in both cases.
Any ideas? I'm in the UK.

Cheers,

Martin

Imo, central locks, electric window elevators and other
electric comfort gadgets of the like have no place in an
offroad vehicle. They're susceptible to malfunction in
difficult conditions, and tend to be hard to repair
in the field. They can be a safety hazard too - consider
needing to get out of a sinking or burning car, quickly,
with the electrics gone. Simply not worth the questionable
increase in comfort.

If at all possible, replace with corresponding manual
ones.
