Mondeo Central Locking

[Tels]

Has anyone had experience with a Mondeo central locking system with a mind of it's own?

My Y reg 2000 ghia will occasionally unlock itself again whilst driving along and even on occasion lock all doors as well. Has been known to do this whilst stationary too.

It also occasionally loses the timer on the internal light after you get in. You know the one that supposed to stay on for x seconds or until the ignition is turned on.

I changed the key fob battery but am baffled.

Where is the control box?
Any other people experienced this?
Any clues?

Cheers

I know the car will lock itself if you operate the open button and not enter the vehicle (i.e. open/close door) within a specific timeframe.

MkII mondeos do have problems with the central locking - On my 98 GLX I discovered the front door handle was not returning fully and touching the CL microswitch - the slightest touch or bump andthe handle pressed the switch causing the CL to operate. A squirt of WD40 on the handle mechanism fixed it - but you may need to get the door panel off to get the WD 40 to all the moving parts.
