Hi Acrock,

If it is shorted, it will, but if it is an open circuit, faulty actuators would not blow any fuses.

Thanks for the blow up of the control unit wiring it makes it a lot easier to read. If one of the actuators is bad will it cause the rest not to work or only that door?

Hi Acrock,

If the actuator is shorted to ground, it will affect the others, otherwise no.

At the number one or number three of left front power door lock switch, click it to ground and see if there is any activity from the main control unit, (clicking noise of relay).

If power supply from battery input is available and ground is sufficient, the control unit is faulty.

The central locking is going nuts.
It is opening and closing the door locks its self when driving.
When I lock doors to go some where. I come back to the car and find the locks open.

Seems to hapen more after I wash car or heavy rain.

Think its a dampness problem or water geting on to electrics somewhere.

Hi Jim,

Problem should be due to door lock switch. Quite often the switchs gets shorted due to water, etc and the signal would trigger the control unit.
