Hi Guys need some help with my 97 R reg Saxo the central locking is working itself. Every 30 seconds it locks and unlocks itself 5 times all the time. Its really pissing me off. I have Disconected the battery which stops it. (In the hope that it was a glitch) after being left disconnected all night it still does it. Then I removed the Fuse F8 for central locking and that didn't stop it. and now the battery is flat. anyone got any ideas ?

Are you sure you disconnected the right fuse, physics states that by breaking the circuit, power cannot circulate around said ciruit. Possibly a relay that is causing the main issue, check out which relay it is (Haynes Manual) and see if it is loose? If not disconnect it and see what happens (be sure to put it back the right way round if it has syemtrical pins). Have you/previous owner made any modifications to the locking system? Flush doors with pop solinoids installed or the like? Does it do it with the key out of the ignition? See what else is on the circuit (If anything) and check if that is malfunctioning without you noticing. More questions than answers - Sorry but may help you find it...
