I think the car wants an argument

 

Try checking if your doors or boot have closed fully and check the door
switches with a meter to confirm this, It could be a faulty switch as my 306
used to lock then unlock again if I didn't close the door properly.

 

"If you hold the locking button down on the key fob a little longer this
usually clears the fault. Daft trick, but it does work is to put the key
against your head press the button, it will operate the locks. Then walk
away, try it at 25, 50, 75 feet it does work, your head effectively
increases the range of the signal.

 

do you think it maybe depends on what you have in there!!
if youre very brainy, will it work better!?? lol

 

Usually caused by faulty/broken/shorting wire in the loom where it goes
through the door pillar/hinge area. My 605 had the same problem but I was
lucky and found that by banging one door near the lock mechanism could cure
the problem so I disconnected one of the plugs to that door lock unit in the
door, can't remember which one but there's only two.
This means that I can still lock the car (all doors) with the plip but not
actuate all door locks from this disconnected door. Been like that for two
or three years now with no other problems.
Its a cheaper solution to buying a new door lock unit.
Hope this helps.
