How would you reset?do you think it could be solenoid? Please excuse me I am a novice!

Could be sticking linkage or actuator / solenoid . So many different procedures for resetting on all cars , nothing in handbook ?

Pull the trim off and a spray of WD40 might solve the fault .

Dont know about that one , but normally on most cars the main central locking unit is fitted to drivers door .Who knows with cars ? whether that one sticking throws it out of sync is a possibilty . Wont do any harm having a look .Hope that's all it is .

One sticking solenoid could back feed the entire system and cause this issue ,so even though the master probably will be the drivers you could still have an issue else where in the system ,best way is to start at the drivers side solenoid and check the signals normally switching to earth ,as most automotive sensors do for safety.Most likely wiring issue ,it,s just finding it that,s the problem ,but where you have door,s and wiring moving there,s always going to be issues.

does the central locking work by using the key in the drivers door lock?
