Mine is way more weird than that, 1 click= drivers door, 2nd click= LH side doors and boot, 3rd click RH rear door!!!!

I dont know if the RH rear is just sticky, but it does it every time!!!


You can change the set up but its done through the BCU.

BCU, Body Control Unit, it controls everything in the cab, Alarm, intrior lights, headlight courtesy timer, audible warnings etc etc, its under the dash behind the glove box (the area that floods when it rains heavy!). You can access the setting with a Nanocom or such, but if you dont have one then its a main stealer job.

Leading on from this.... I have a problem with on of my door locks....

The rear Passanger door doesnt unlock with the central locking. It makes a noise, but doesnt unlock. I can unlock manually (By pulling the inside handle) and then the door will work fine from inside and out.

But, when i lock the caragain the door locks and i when i want it open again i have to climb through the back to unlock it (Not idal with 3 baby seats in the back). Am i right in thinking this is likely to be the actuator in the door latch mech? Or is there something else that i have not thought of. I dont htink it is a ECU problem as i can hear the latch try and open...

Any advise would be great.

My cars the same - 1 click drivers door, 2nd click remaining doors and rear door although the rhs rear door sticks a bit which needs sometimes a 3rd click. I believe it is set up like that for security reasons. i.e you don't want a nasty hijacker getting in the passenger seat when your on your own. It's not very nice having a 9mm pointing at your face and some **** asking for the car. Very common here by the way:eek:
