Central Locking still driving me crazy!

[Peter86]

I gave up trying to stop/find the leak i had on my passenger side pillar (where the sensor is). The only cure i found for it was not to park the car pointing down hill lol(for obvious reasons) not a cure, but it drove me mad trying to find it and admitted defeat. Not long after i was having central locking issues, where the central locking would lock/unlock randomly, and have crazy "fits" when i tried to open/shut the car. Also gave up on this one, as im not very good with electrics, but i have looked in the obvious spots, took the carpet up in the footwell, checked the plugs/checked the loom going through the door e.t.c
Anyway i chose to live with these issues, and a few weeks later, after parking the car pointing up-hill only. The central locking issue fixed itself and i had no leaks. Now im wondering if the problems are connected and the water getting in is causing the central locking issue, seems like it has dried out now and i dont get any problems.

What componants around the passenger side of my car can i check to see if it is getting wet? as this could lead me to the leaking problem! I cant imagine how happy i would be if i managed to find the leak aswell!! I have checked all the cables plugs in the footwell under the carpet and they are fine...

Any help/ideas/guidence greatly appreciated.

The car is 2001 exec estate. 2.2 16v

Although I don't think this applies to a semi-mux D9, 2001 could be either...

I have checked them connectors in both footwell, and they are spanking new
