Vauxhall Zafira - Zafira central locking/fuel gauge problem - ben1977

Hi,

I have a 2006 Zafira and am having all sorts of problems with the central locking and the fuel gauge on the dash.

Basically, the car has started disengaging the central locking when driving along and then beeps/flashes at you to tell you that one of the doors is open when they are not.

Curiously, the problem only happens when the car has at least half a tank of fuel and is turning right - the more fuel the car has the less vigorous the right turn has to be before the problem occurs!

I'm thinking it must be due to some sort of cross-wiring issue as the other thing that happens is that if you start the car with the back doors open, the fuel guage tells you you have a full tank of fuel regardless of what you actually have at the time!!

Can anyone shed any light on this as it's doing my head in! Does the fuel level sender wire anywhere near the 'doors open' wire? If so where and how do i get at it?!!

Thanks in advance for any help you can give.
