central locking clicking on and off

It sounds like a short/earth problem - The usual culprit for central locking going mad is at the point where the wiring loom passes from the car body into the door - the wires get chafed and cause shorts.

It's an easy place to check, if for nothing else other than to rule it out.

Is there a seperate earth for earth door - as I haven't been able to tell which ones at fault, I drove the car today, locke the doors and it appeared to come from the tail gate, but then they all seemed to click at the same time, just as I thought I'd found out where the noise was coming from.

That's OK Matt at least I have something to go on, while I remember do you know where the control unit is that controls all the central locking.

Not overly sure but would have thought it was in the fuse box (although I seem to remember it may be under one of the seats in a 306 but I could be mistaken)

Matt

Hi again, I was told it was under the rear seats, can't get my head round this yet, because I fold them forward when moving big items but I haven't noticed any box, though I was looking for something 12in x 12in don't know why I thought it was that big.

Bill

Hi Bill, do you mean that it locks and then opens again imeediately ?

I think its a sort of half click, the locks don't open fully.
