    Tearing my hair out

    Take the door card off to see if the window has fouled the locking actuator. The driver's door actuator is the master for the c/l system so would activate the locks on the other doors.

    Try removing fuse #6 from the satellite box #2. You can then eliminate the tow bar electrics from your search. I realise you have checked the socket but it is quite often the cause.
