I thought it best to bring up an old thread of the same topic than create a new one, as i have similar issues and need some advice...

For a start... I cannot use my remote locking... just flashes all over the place... unlocks the doors in this fashion: press once, drivers door unlocks... press 2nd time, the rest of the doors unlock... press a third time to lock... and the acuators go nuts followed by the blinkers going on and off and the horn beeping a few times... but does not lock the doors...

2nd problem... everytime i open and close any doors, all the actuators go nuts a couple of times...

3rd problem... my front passenger door decided it didnt want to lock anymore... so for safety and security... i disconnected the acuator and the outer door handle...

any suggestions? i will be using the above tutorial guide for any drive shaft breakages... but unsure about the rest...

Fix your 3rd problem 1st you will find most likely this is the cause of all your problems.
I had a rear door that wouldn't lock on my AU the actuator was broken, car wouldn't lock and sometimes it would lock, in general it was playing up, once l replaced the the broken actuator the locking system started to work normal again.

Well i just realised a little mistake in how i worded my information... i meant to add with the 3rd problem that it happened after the other issues... it was ok when i bought the car... and using the key only, i could centrally open and close the doors... problem 2 still existed though...

that's probably because you now have more than one door actuator broken...
