Disco Central locking problems

[rhys_disco]

My 300 tdi disco locks then about 3 seconds later it reopens and disables the alarm any ideas how to sort it out ??????

I haven't had this happen on a disco but the good lady's GTV does it when a lock is frozen. Could just be gunged up on one door, perhaps some liberal WD40 application? Otherwise I would suggest it's door trim off time to see which it is. Hopefully more knowledgeable types will be along soon.

Good luck

thank you rusty bin but i think it might be an electronic problem cheers

Could it be something not closed properly that has a switch on it such as the bonnet or fual filler cap or even a door not completely closed?

[rhys_disco]

the fuel filler cap is key operated and so is the bonnet catch what else could it be ?????

I'm sure you have done all the slaming of doors to make sure they are shut so my guess is that the system thinks one is still open. This may be a duff or dirty microswitch in one of the locks or a broken wire.
I would go to each door and open and close several times operating the lock mechanism manually. I don't know the locks so if there is a manual button or a lock switch at each door then exercise them all.
