This has been covered before. On my westy it would lock right after I unlocked the door. The likely problem is a broken wire where the wire bundle passes from the door to behind the dash. Many problems in my wiring came from the wires being too short. There was so much movement and stretching each time the door opened, wires broke from being bent back and forth. I spliced in new wires to relieve the stress at the point the wires pass through the grommet/ wire cover between the door and the dash. The driver side is most likely since it most used. |
