agggggh mondeo central locking - biff
i wonder if someone can help? i have an 02 mondeo 1.8 lx. the central locking system works fine with the key but if i try to lock the car with the key fob the car locks then unlocks immediately. i have replaced the battery in the fob and i have tried reprogramming the fob as told in the manual but still it happens. theres no gap, not even a second between it locking then unlocking it just does it straight away.

i know i could just lock it with the key but i want to exchange the car and want everything working well.

any ideas?

What happens when you lock the passenger door? [If it's got a lock.] Could be a stuck, or failed, locking motor in the driver's door.

if i lock it with the key it's fine. i sat inside the car and used the fob, the passenger and back doors lock then unlock straight away, the drivers door does'nt lock at all. if i manually lock the doors from inside the car they work perfectly.

Is there an external passenger's door lock? What happens when you lock that?

Forget the fob; if any master lock doesn't respond to the remote receiver's "lock" signal and move to the lock position, [like a faulty driver's door lock motor] it'll then send out an "unlock" signal and cycle all the others.

Is that if you use either passenger and drivers door to trigger the central locking?
