2001 Ford Mondeo Mk3 2.5 ghia x - Electrical problem cold weather - Mick68

Hi all

I had an electrical problem with my car that went away in the spring but is now back again. It occurs first thing in the morning or after sunset, more specifically when the temp drops below 5 or 6 degrees. The boot won't release from the keyfob, the dashboard button or the manual hidden switch above the rear reg plate (i have to use the key the old fashioned way) and the doors randomly lock and unlock them selves both before and after ignition and whilst driving.

I dont have the money to throw at a mobile sparky diagnosing the problem so i was wondering if anyone had any ideas, thanks.

Check that the plunger on the bonnet catch is not seized.
