| Re: Intermitent self locking doors It requires taking off the door trim, when that off, the control unit is situated behind the membrian. depending on age of the car its a clear plastic(older) or grey foam(newer). the control unit also is the window lifter motor. now remove the block conector and check for signs of water. (its a bad design cos the unit is exposed to water running past the bottom window seal.)

| Re: Intermitent self locking doors there is a problem with washer pipes in the boot coming apart and soaking the block connectors for boot and tailgate electrics, which rots the wiring, I've lost count how many i've re-wired lol there is no CL unit in the boot tho.
