Hi,
My 406 unlocks itself. When I press the lock button on the key fob the car makes a siren like sound and unlocks itself...
Anyone know to resolve this?
Many thanks!

Re: unlocking itself..
Hi, mine does this too, but only if a door or bonnet is open or ajar.
Maybe double check all is closed properly and if it still happens then it could be an open circuit or bad connection somewhere?

The boot latch sticking can cause this, certainly did on my old D8's!

Nothing says that the doors are open... Where is the connections ? I think something might be loose?

Re: unlocking itself..
just thinking here, but if any door fails to lock the car will unlock itself, so perhaps one of the lock solenoids is giving up?
