Locking Out of Control - Land Rovers Only

tablets · 09-29-2008, 11:56 AM

My door locks seem to have a mind of their own and will constantly try to unlock and lock themselves while I am driving.

Any ideas why this would happen? It mostly wants to unlock and it doesn't happen all the time.

I do have the Valet system for remote start. I'm kinda thinking the battery could be low or there is a problem with that remote. It doesn't seem to be working right.

The remote on the key works fine.

You will probably need to go have some scan the system, see if you have a bad switch and replace it.
I doubt it is a low voltage issue, if it were it would also be kickingf the alarm on also.

If the back door wasn't locking right, would this cause the locks to mess up? The back door doesn't lock at all and if I do lock it, it barely wants to unlock.

It has gotten worse. Now the car tries to lock itself while driving more often which sounds the horn off. It could be coincidences but it seems to happen more on rough roads.

The rear lock actuator would sure be a place to start.

Would disconnecting the locking mechanism be a good enough test for the door switches?

I disconnected the rear door and the automatic locking and unlocking continued. Does something have to be reset?

I know for sure that door switch does not work. Even manually it doesn't even want to function right.
