Central Locking/door Buttons, NON STOP UP AND DOWN!? Options

[TUPPENNY]

As in the description above..this is just what they are doing when I use the remote key to unlock.
This doesn't stop until I'm able to get in shut the door and press one of the buttons down or activate the remote central locking..( which also sets the alarm with me in the car!!)
Can anyone help with a solution...PLEASE

sounds like the lock actuator is shorted/ng and the sensor isnt seeing it close so it opens it again and again

Hopefully you've got this fixed by now but if not.......

I had a similar problem on my '99. It's probably the master lock actuator solenoid in the driver's door. Unplug it and the up - down action should stop. (inside lock - unlock button should still operate the other three doors.) If so, replace the master solenoid.

If you're adventurous, pry the back off of it and you'll see a microswitch that is operated by a cam that swings back and forth when the lock goes up and down. There are rubber bumpers at either end of the cam to cut down noise and they get squashed. This allows the cam to go past the microswitch and the system loses track of where it is - thus the ratcheting. I glued in small pieces of rubber and fixed the problem.
