central locking clicking on and off

Hi,
I have a peugeot 306 (L Reg)1905 Diesel. I am having trouble with the
central locking clicking on and off, I can't pinpoint the cause or which
ones causing this problem. I haven't stripped anything yet cos I have
feeling if I touch it, it won't work at all. Ideas? I have a feeling theres
a motor on each door plus the boot, but I'm unsure how the central locking
is controlled

It sounds like a short/earth problem - The usual culprit for central locking
going mad is at the point where the wiring loom passes from the car body
into the door - the wires get chafed and cause shorts.

It's an easy place to check, if for nothing else other than to rule it out.

Is there a seperate earth for earth door - as I haven't been able to tell
which ones at fault, I drove the car today, locke the doors and it appeared
to come from the tail gate, but then they all seemed to click at the same
time, just as I thought I'd found out where the noise was coming from.

That's OK Matt at least I have something to go on, while I remember do you
know where the control unit is that controls all the central locking.

Not overly sure but would have thought it was in the fuse box (although I
seem to remember it may be under one of the seats in a 306 but I could be
mistaken)

Hi again, I was told it was under the rear seats, can't get my head round
this yet, because I fold them forward when moving big items but I haven't
noticed any box, though I was looking for something 12in x 12in don't know
why I thought it was that big.

Hi Bill,
do you mean that it locks and then opens again imeediately ?

I think its a sort of half click, the locks don't open fully.
