Check the wiring harness in the offside rear door this is commonly caused by a broken earth wire there or sometimes by the pin switches on the side loading door, one way or other the central locking thinks a door isn't shut.

Go round and open and close each door and try again

kinks in the rear door harness will do it ,(broken wires in harness) they get trapped when shutting doors, always feed harness back in when shutting rear doors dont just slam them.

hi had a look at the wiring harness on the offside rear door most of the wires are cut the problem i now have is which ones go together anyone no where i can get a wiring diagram from cheers

Who cut the wires or did they get cut by being trapped in the door?

[AlanN]

There are some little steel Shields available now to stop crooks cutting the wires in the rear doors and opening them
