Get the battery tested in both fob and under bonnet prob one of those 2 test will be free somewhere and fob batteries are cheap..

if it turns the alarm off and on then it sounds as though the battery in it is ok but is your battery on the car ok I know it sounds daft buy if you have a low battery then the door actuators will not be so good ,or there is a fault in the system, hope this helps

Check the batterys water levels if its that type and make sure terminals are tigh not corroded etc on mine i was getting the driver lock half open on one push then all open on the second push(single point entry) new battery for the van fixed it.

Some of us get tired of repeating ourselves, over and over again!!
It also makes for a very disjointed and hard to follow repair route for others using the search tab

Ok Moonrover.
1st off, you need to eliminate the remote fob 'lock" button.
So first test is to check the boot is locked when the doors should be. The boot works completely differently to the doors. If the boot won't open, the fault is most likely to be the door lock motors.
If the boot still opens when it should be locked then the best place to start is the remote fobs, the microswitches under the buttons do fail over time.

if no one asked a question there wouldnt be a forum but a list of questions and answers instead, if anyones tired of repeating themselves then just simply ignore the thread and dont comment..

My point exactly. I see you contributed something useful to the thread?
Maybe if you bothered to read post 11, I explained what the OP could check next.

Ooo tis a bit rowdy in'ere I's off to the tratterer section :behindsofa:
Why not just have a look at the thread, if you dont have anything interesting or funny to say scroll down to next thread and try again, its easy. Stop whinging and bitching about it being covered before,like i mentioned earlier the OP was a request for information from some like minded owners about a fairly frustrating issue and all he/she gets is pish from you dick
