Golf 4 Central Locking inop. HELP!

[Mikey-S]

My central locking will unlock the car but won't lock it. Vag-Com finds one fault, Central Locking Thermal Protection, I think the code is 01038. It won't operate from the key, or remote, or the switch inside. I know that if someone plays around with the locking, ie locks then unlocks it many times then this may cause the thermal protection to activate, but no-one other that myself has been near the car, and it just stopped working. Any ideas??

disconnect the battery or remove the fuse for the central locking?

After checking the fault codes that's what I tried, didn't make any difference. I've no idea what has caused this...

It did come back on once after about a week, then after operating it a couple of times it packed in again.
