Central locking problems with an old Leon
I have an X-Reg SEAT Leon. When I lock the car with the key fob it locks all of the doors OK but when I walk away the car then unlocks its self and sends the front windows down. As you are driving the car the central locking some times goes nuts, too.

Standard VAG problem. Either you are tripping the fob buttons a second time in your pocket, or moisture inside the driver's door has got into the locking and windows ECU situated there and you need a new locking and windows ECU.

We have a Volkswagen Transporter T6. Had a few problems with a fuse blowing and now the central locking is not working. Could this be a fuse problem?
