'97 R50 Terrano Keeps Unlocking Itself

Recommended Posts

After locking the vehicle, it unlocks itself (all doors) within a short period of time. If I leave it, it starts randomly locking and unlocking repetitively. I'm currently leaving it unlocked everywhere I go and need to sort it out. Any ideas or suggestion appreciated. Vehicle does not use a key fob, just a key.

Time to call Ghostbusters!  Kiding asides, sounds like a short, possibly in one of the door switches.  Does it do it from either side and just by key or the door panel lock switches?

I haven't tried it with just the door panel switch. I just know it does it with the key at this stage.

To help troubleshoot you should try key both sides and also the door panel switches.

It seems the central locking only works from the driver's door, and it does the same thing when manually switching. I think it's a short as I tried it again this morning and it didn't do it. Maybe just some moisture got in there somewhere.

Hm, my 1997 Pathfinder locks from both sides. so either a circuit interrupt or short. If moisture, try Boeshield T-9 spray.

Thanks, and where would I spray the Boeshield?

Wherever you think there may be moisture on electrical connections, it is a water displacing lubricant that leaves a protective waxy film.
