Central Locking Fault

[stephw1973]

Ford Focus 1.8 TDCI 03 Reg

Can anyone help.

I thought that my battery had gone as my car was not locking with the fob. I replaced the battery but it still was not working properly. Now I am having to use the key to lock the car but when I do it clicks to lock it then winds all my electric windows down! Now when I open my boot the same happens. If I turn my ignition off it is clicking and then winding the windows down and it may take up to 5 attempts to turn on and off the ignition before it stops making the clicking sound and allows me to leave the car.

Any ideas anyone?

iirc your activating global closing/opening.
i would 1st be looking for wiring problems within the door gaitors as they are known to fail.

Would this be a big job if I took it to a garage?
