Anyone had this, just noticed mine is doing this occasionally..

Oddly only after the car has "A either been running or "B" has the key in the ignition..

If i removed the key and press the tailgate button it'll lock/unlock once, and then be fine for the repeated times I open the tailgate!

Odd..

It is also sometimes only locking the rear doors when the button is pressed?

Would it be the drivers door lock? #

I have one Marty rebuilt would it be worth fitting it?

Sorry - so you're saying the tailgate is locking and unlocking the whole car ?

When i press the tailgate button the door locks dance Lock/unlocked.

Also occasionally it locks the rear doors.

Which is odd.

Current for the tailgate latch goes via the CDL switch in the drivers door. Maybe the CDL switch is starting to fail so the current draw causes it to go high resistance meaning the BeCM sees it as going open circuit enough to trigger the central locking? If you've got a new latch already, fit it.

Are you sure that you want to perform this action? This action is irreversible.
