Not content with annoying me with the gearbox problem, today it decided to annoy some more:mad:
Driving along on a super smooth road the front passenger door and both the rear doors started to lock and unlock at random. the drivers door was unaffected. :mad::mad: Before I start delving into RAVE, anyone got any ideas?:)
 
I have a feeling this thread could get interesting !

Anyway, on a serious note, i have had similiar problems, mine started locking and unlocking when driving along, when it was parked up, all different times, sometimes all the doors, sometimes just the drivers, sometimes front, sometimes rear, no logic or rhyme to it, really p***ed me off as the drivers lock was broken and only one fob has ever worked (was ok if i had my key but not the wifes)


I was told to look at the fob batteries, but then it just stopped as quick as it started !

Sorry, no help at all, but least you know you aint on ya own.

Rob.

Data,

Also on a serious note - It is usually the tailgate not closing properly what is causing the random lock/unlock. Adjusting the catch usually resolves this issue. :)

Thanks for that Rudy, will give the tailgate a once over and post any result:)
 
Interesting.

I get the same thing and it's got worse of recent but also my tailgate latch is worn and needs replacing, sounds like a connection between them.

I'll have to check once I've replaced tailgate latch and see if any improvement.

Well, I'm surprised, but opening and firmly closing the tailgate seems to have cured the problem:) So far I can't for the life of me work out why:confused: Need to spend more time on RAVE:)
A big thanks Rudy, saved me a lot of time:D:D:D
