Van stood for a few weeks and the alarm went off for no reason.
Did this a few times over a couple of days
Then the central locking would lock then unlock, door open light on dash
No door open
Checked pins on slider and all ok
Other doors dont have a courtesy light switch but interior lights come on when opened
Magic

Faulty actuator or wiring to the door, seen them break were the loom goes from the A pillar into the door.
Have you got 2 battery's under the drivers seat, the rear one is used for starting the other one is for everything else
including the keys/remote open close. If its faulty it can cause all sorts probs.

I don't know where to send this so I'm just leaving it here. A great way to get a stuck car out. Use it.

Afternoon folks .

I have been MIA here for a while as I have not felt in the mood for chit chat.
3 Mondays ago I had a great day out in the garden doing stuff. Tuesday I got up and could only hobble about like a 100yr old.
So its that dreaded sciatic nerve, I have been popping ibupe like smarties. But the last couple of days have been good and I hope to be up and running (well not actually running) but at least be able to get on with the work needed before the weather turns bad.
Still mostly sunny, still no rain, still no water

Would anyone like to swop a pile of classical piano music, Bach, Beethoven, Chopin preludes etc etc,
for some tools left you by your dad(s)?
Anyone?

Need to check the side & rear door wiring & contacts, you got a towbar fitted. Check the rear earths by removing the rear lights.
Also has the keys got good battery's. Its opening as the system thinks one of the doors are open.

Hope its just a bad connection, mines does this sometimes but its open most of the time & it seams to sort its self out.
My drivers door lock is a tad notchy probably worn ive had new keys made too & the original key is well worn.

If it happens after a bit of time standing I'd bet it is a damp issue.
