    Central locking problem.

    Hello.

    locking my passenger side door from inside, I can use the
    trunk to lock all the doors. It works like it should.

    But with the passenger side door unlocked, it will immediately unlock itself.
    Has anyone had a similar problem or know a fix?

    Thinks for looking.

    Yea i had a similar issue, when i unlocked the doors they would automatically lock back before i could open the door. They would also lock at random times when i was driving the car. Even if i pulled them up by hand they would lock back. But for some odd reason it fixed itself. Im still scared one day i may leave the key inside and be locked out.

              Yeah, lock the passenger side door from the inside and see if they all lock
              by using the trunk.

              or just try different stuff like that.

              Mine only locks from the trunk if I have the passenger door already
              locked. Or if I lock the passenger door w/ the key they all lock.

                      Any luck? I'm having the same problem. Only with my driver's door. I'm thinking it's a mechanical problem with that door as it's also pretty resistant to being locked unlike the passenger side.

                        I think we have the same problem.

                          I had an issue similar to this. If you take the door panel off, look towards the lower right corner about 3/4 the way down. There is a screw than you can loosen, and slide up or down to adjust the throw for the plunger arm inside. I'm at work, so cant take pics right now. I found that mine had come loose. After adjusting, the door would lock and stay locked.
                          You can give that a shot, seeing as how you've checked all else.

                            Yeah my drivers side door still wont unlock but i think its to do with the barrel as the key wont physcially move that way. So im just going keyless entry and shaving the locks while i respray it
