Is your model a keyless ignition? |

Yes. It is usually a faulty door latch. The electric motors driving the lock/unlock become weak and don't complete the locking action.

Once you have locked your door, take the key fob out of range approx 1m +. Leave the key fob out of range and then try the door again. I suspect the door is opening because the fob is still in range. Which it is designed to do. |

Like I said in the post, the small black tab under the lever was sticking out a bit on the drivers door. 2006 RRS SC Bonatti Grey (the 55th car/van I have owned)

The lock that has failed will be on the door that you can still open by pulling the external handle after the central locking activated and alarm set. 2008 MY Java Black TDV8 HSE

TOP TIP: avoid the inconvenience of door latch repairs by exiting your RRS through open windows thus reducing wear on the mechanisms. I never saw the Duke brothers having to fix theirs, so it's tried and tested. L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso

After spending a few nights wondering how to resolve this I tried your guidance and it worked great. A temporary fix of course as the actuator has clearly failed but at least I can go to sleep at night now. Many thanks. |
