    Try checking if your doors or boot have closed fully and check the door
    switches with a meter to confirm this, It could be a faulty switch as my 306
    used to lock then unlock again if I didn't close the door properly.

  4. "If you hold the locking button down on the key fob a little longer this
    usually clears the fault. Daft trick, but it does work is to put the key
    against your head press the button, it will operate the locks. Then walk
    away, try it at 25, 50, 75 feet it does work, your head effectively
    increases the range of the signal.

    Usually caused by faulty/broken/shorting wire in the loom where it goes
    through the door pillar/hinge area. My 605 had the same problem but I was
    lucky and found that by banging one door near the lock mechanism could cure
    the problem so I disconnected one of the plugs to that door lock unit in the
    door, can't remember which one but there's only two.
    This means that I can still lock the car (all doors) with the plip but not
    actuate all door locks from this disconnected door. Been like that for two
    or three years now with no other problems.
    Its a cheaper solution to buying a new door lock unit.
    Hope this helps.
