Re: Misterious door locking issue... (Infamous1.8TWB)

Yes, started to do this, or at least I just stated noticeing it here within the last few months, I'm sure it's just some simple electrical fix, fuses etc. that can be sorted out with some time over the weekend. These types of problems are becoming common on these years because of the age the car is and the milage that a car tends to rack up over the course of time. The same time I really started to notice this, my blinker would occasionally flash quickly as well. It's just getting time to do some more maintance on our older NB models, that's all. Every car eventually has a few bugs here and there creep up. I'm currently showing just under 150K on the odo. How about you Infamous1.8TWB, how many miles you got dude?
p.s. It wouldn't be a fix all but I would look into getting a Hyper Grounding kit after replacing those worn out electrical parts http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Well (unfortunelty) I have to go to the dealership today so I will be sure to explain this problem to them and hopefully have some info to share with you. 2.0L 8v right?

Infamous,
Went to the dealer and they were actually a big help this time. They said to open the door and check the wiring under the rubber protective bott doo-hicky (not sure of the technical name but once you look it is obvious) According to him "This is a good place to start your check, the wires that pass through this areaget stressed easily, like for instance the door coming open too quickly when it's windy outside." So, that would be the first place I would check. Look for corrorded or worn out wiring. If nothing is noticable worn out or needs replacing then go with the mentioned above. IIRC. Hope that helps dude.
