It could be a short in the wiring loom to the drivers door, I have just experienced a similar problem with mine, pull back the rubber gaitor and check that you dont have any bare/broken wires there. It is also possible that there could be a similar problem with the tailgate wiring loom and as a matter of course I would check that out the same way. Both these places are a good starting point before you look anywhere else.

Thanks Seatkid...your posts have been a mine of info to me in past....all the very best to you sir!!!

Hi All, Would just like to start by thanking everyone who has given their time and knowledge to this group, it has been a fantastic help to me over the past couple of years and far better than any haynes manual!! I feel its long overdue for me to give something back...so here goes. I recently encountered a problem with the central locking on my gal where the drivers door failed to lock with the remote key, I also noticed that the trip milometer would reset to "0" every time I returned to the car after a journey. After refering to Nikpv's excellent post in the faq, I checked the wiring loom in the door pillar to the drivers door, here I found a couple of wires with slightly bared insulation, I taped these up with insulation tape and put everything back together. It would seem that these wires had caused a short circuit and blown a 5amp fuse at position 19, replaced this and everything is back to normal again!! Although I know that this is a very simple fix (and to most a very obvious one) I hope it may help others noobs from getting ripped off by our frendly Fraud stealers telling you that you need a new central locking actuator!! Keep up the good work everyone and thanks again.
