Hi all
This is a little strange. Click central locking on key fob & doors unlock, go to use boot lock button & when I push it the doors lock again & the boot wont open, unlock the doors again & the same thing happens. Then after a while the boot will open on the button, any ideas?
Cheers in advance

hi , drop rear boot door down , remove carpeted panel on back of door , dismantle door knob , splits into 4 parts , use electrical spray cleaner on 2 connectors ,NOT WD40 ,, clean spring with wirewool then apply Vaseline ... clean inside of button and apply Vaseline ,, reconnect everything then test 3/4 times , all ok finally refit panel ...only takes 15 minutes no tools needed !!!! then no clicking from door actuators whilst driving ,,,job done cheers MOZZ

Just as Mozz said, but check the connector to the button with great care, the pins are fine and the corrosion is hard to see. Also I prefer silicon grease to vaseline.

Do you wrap the apprentice in insulating tape in case he splits on you

I have a similar issue. Door locks often pulse when I drive and the tailgate won't open occasionally when I press the button. Suspect the solution above may fix this!
