hi all i'm new to this site i have a problem with my central locking ? was all working fine when we brought the car exept the drivers door the lock just went round and round and all the windows would open so we never used that lock just used passenger side now none of the central locking works have to lock the doors individually by hand then lock the passenger door , but the interior lights stay on even when driving any help would be thanked

Probably a broken wire/s inside door . Will have to strip down door trims and examine .

Would agree with suggested fault and add that if water gets into the convenience module ,located in pass footwell ,I can cause locking issue,s .check your carpet for dampness .

OK i fixed my window and door locking problem by the drivers door if you open the black rubber hinge seal inside you will see a lot of wires look for a brown wire check for split or broken wire if yes turn off ignition and repair the wire and it should work it work for me.:-)
