Hoping somebody might be able to shine some light on this hopefully spurious problem . got locked out of my Tuscan Mk 1 earlier today . Set the alarm as usual when getting out of the car .... all normal , but when I came back to the car and pressed the key fob the lights flashed once ( ie disarming the alarm ) but on pressing the door open button nothing happened . I tried the passenger side and the boot but none of them would open !!! . Tried re-arming and disarming the alarm but no luck , all lights flashing as they should but couldn`t get in . So had to use the double secret method of opening the boot then removed the rear screen and climbed in and opened the door using the inside door release button .After doing this all went back to normal and still is , I have tried several times to reproduce the fault but it all works as if nothing had happened . It seems that when I was arming / disarming the alarm no power was getting to any of the door ECU`s .

Ok problem seems to have gone away for now , but if any body has any ideas I would be very gratefull .

ps the battery is new and fully charged , checked voltage with multimeter

Might have just gone out of sync and have inadvertently got it back without knowing it, hopefully it will stop ok.
