Hi,

My octy vrs mk1 54 plate won't stay locked.

 

When I press the lock button on the key fob all doors lock and then immediately unlock.

 

I've tried the spare fob and the problem is still there.

 

Any thoughts please

First check all the doors are closed properly. If so then it may be the door lock on the drivers side with a failing micro switch

Thanks Smudge, I'll investigate. the drivers door lock was changed a couple of months ago....

In that case check the wires into the body from the door

Deffo either the microswitch or the wiring loom, in particular the connector block between the drivers door and main body. 

Its not detecting the drivers door as being closed, thus the locks popping back.

Does the interior light stay lit also?

Thanks for the feedback everyone. The missus figured while I was out in her car.

 

The battery was flat. I assume the immediate unlock is a safety feature. 

 

Battery charged and everything working as it should. 

 

Thanks again and have a great weekend:-)

here's an update , it did work for a shirt while now the issue is back. I'll check the loom in the drivers door. and yes the light stays on. I'll update when I know more....

disconnected the drivers door lock and the light goes out and all other doors lock and stay locked. so it looks like the new lo k has a fault. it's still under warranty so ill get it sorted. will update again when something happens.
