I drive SWMBO's Puma more than she does and love the thing. However...
Today when I parked it up and switched of engine, the doors locked of their own accord. When I opened door to get out, the alarm sounded and I had to switch it off with key as fob wouldn't work.
Now when I unlock with key, the doors immediately lock themselves again. When I am in car and switch off engine, the doors lock themselves and when I start the car, the alarm goes off.
I reprogrammed key to no avail.
I am at a loss what to try next.
Have tried Puma Forums, but same.
She won't drive the Pork, so have to try and resolve it.

Sounds like a problem with the central locking module or similar.

Thought about this possibility but still to check where it's situated. I know about the white plug in the r/h footwell, but don't want to deactivate the alarm/central locking if not necessary. If I can find the module, I will possibly swap it out for a known good one, but still think it's strange that this problem should manifest itself all of a sudden (ie.,no symptoms, maladies or intermittent issues).
