VW MK3 Golf 1.9TDi - Locking issue
Discussion
Morning everyone - ive scanned the site and cant see anything relating to the issue i started having this morning.
Came out to the car this morning and the central locking every 10 seconds or so is trying to lock the doors.
It opens fine with the fob, starts ok - all other electrics are fine. but once the car is locked every 10 secs or so the central locking motors click and it attempts to lock itself again. According to my neighbour its done this all night as all the hazard lights flash every time it attempts to lock.
Any ideas?
I thought it was a basic fuse/electric issue but all the other electrics are working fine.

Chances are it will be a short in a wire going through the door jam of the drivers door. Had this on my Mk3 but on the 'open' wire, leading to my car unlocking itself all the time.
Its easy enough to pop the rubber boot off and find the damaged wire. Best to splice a new piece in or use some electrical tape if you fancy the bodge.
