  • Central locking mind of its own

    My central locking has an intermittent problem - it will cycle locking and unlocking the doors. This fault will occur with doors locked and with doors unlocked: so leave the car locked or unlocked and it will go into a locking and unlocking spasm.

    98 2.7 RV No remote locking.

    I note this has previously been discussed: http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread...locking-issues, with no apparent resolution.

    Has anyone found a solution.

    Could be a loose connection? I know when I'm disconnecting some cars door electrics at work, the central locking can sometimes "go into a spasm".

      You say your vehicle is a 2.7 RV, this model did not have factory central locking, so it would be an aftermarket system. You may need to visit an auto electrician to find the fault.

        A good wash out of the inside of the door with the trim off from a pressure hose followed by a spray of WD40 and the nuisance ON-OFF action was stopped. The rear door switch still does not activate the courtesy lights however.
        Croozza: I have had the 2.7 RV since new in 1998 and it has had factory central locking since new. I have a couple of colleagues with the 2.7 and both have CL. No CL must have been a Qld special.

          I'm from QLD, mine has central locking

          Not remote central locking, just central locking.

            I don't have an RV, I have a '98 GXL. I did once have central locking go crazy while I was driving, doors locking & unlocking as I was hitting little bumps, it kind of made me anxious about what sort of fault had developed. It turned out the rear barn door doesn't close properly unless I slam it. Slammed it shut and the problem never came back. Locking went crazy, but neither the interior light or dash lights indicated any kind of partially shut door issue. Just an FYI from something I observed, maybe a low-tech fix for those experiencing symptoms.
