Hey everyone,

Got a quick question....and yes i searched for ages....when i operate the driver's window, up or down; the passenger door always locks itself. Im thinking this may be normal, and its always done it, but its a freaking pain in the ass!

Is there any way of making it not do this? Like cutting a certain wire or something like that...

In R32 btw....

And no i dont want to disable the central locking all together either.

Any help would be great,

Cheers.

As far as I know, this shouldn't happen man. You might have a short in the wiring or in the control panel. Check that out first, and failing that, maybe contact an alarm installer if you have an alarm, and get them to sus it out?

Nar havent got an alarm but will soon. Thanks.

Anyone know anything else more specific?

Could it be my door lock timer?

The car has done it ever since its been going...wiggling around wires and connections has no effect either.

my car does that sometimes to. only started after the mongoose alarm was installed...

Tried to figure out when it happened if i:

put the window up

put the window down

auto up

auto down

was all intermittent... still dont know why it does it.

What do you mean by drivers door unit? Is this the small black box located inside the door near where the armrest is?

no. that is the auto up for the windows. the one I'm talking about is the window switch itself. the lock unit is in it.

no. that is the auto up for the windows. the one I'm talking about is the window switch itself. the lock unit is in it.

So maybe try another window switch assembly? Might swap it with a mates and see what happens. Thanks mate.

Mine does that too.

When u auto drivers door down it lock the passenger door when all the way down. Its fkn annoying.

HAHA i wish! even if i move the window up or down just a little bit eg not auto, it still does it!

mine does it too. Only started doing it recently though... I think its an earthing issue. Then again, my power window switch is on the fritz too, almost like the contacts have worn off... so I can't say for sure.

Unfortunately my alarm runs an actuator on the driver door too, so it locks both doors. Seems to be a problem only on R32's.

i have this feature lol

but its not really that bad, there is a passenger door unlock button next to your window controls - atelast on 33's

mine would randomly do it once up to speed, and EVERYTIME i put the rear demister on :thumbsup:

Do a search for a thread by cubes, pretty sure he wrote up a DIY mod to stop it.
