Automatic Door Lock Problems - Land Rovers Only

Herbie85 · 11-17-2005, 11:48 AM

When I push down the driver side door lock all the locks lock as they are supposed to, but when I shut the door they all unlock. Also if locking from the passenger side, if I lock the door and shut it, it re-opens as well. Any ideas as to what this could be? Possible re-soldering of ECU unit?

This is a feature, not a glitch, to prevent you from locking your keys in the truck. The doors can only be locked from the outside by using the key, or the remote transmitter.

It is designed that way. To keep you from locking your keys in by accident..

if you must, open the back door and press down the drivers button.
close the back door, it will then stay locked.
probably with your keys in.
