Doors unlocking by themselves

[Monastie]

So, i lock my doors and when i come back theyre always unlocked....
it takes more than one minute to reunlock... realy weird :(

read on other threads that it could be because the trunk isnt locking, so i tried locking the car from the trunk, still doing it

and the trunk locks when i lock it from the front

help asap would be cool

This has happened to me also but they unlock right away. So I lock the the car from the drivers door and half a second later the locks pop back up... Then I lock it again and they stay down WTF. Anyway try locking them twice. Not the answer but maybe a temporary solution.

driver door striker plate is worn out on the Immediate unlock problem.

my 95 530i was the same way but you can sometimes make a quick fix on your central locking system......this is the problem....try to adjust your truck lock to a different height,,,,make sure trunk is flush......worked on mine

Only time this happens to me is if i unlock the truck.

Unless I lock the trunk specifically, the rest of the locks will just open again after I lock them immadiately after I turn the key.

But, as I said, locking the truck with the key seems to solve it... NO idea.

This started happening to me after my driver's door lock actuator went south. I'm thinking maybe the car thinks a door is still open and so is unlocking the doors. Locking a second time keeps 'em down. Don't know why it would take more than a minute to unlock, though. When you lock, do all the doors (and the trunk) lock and then unlock?

ill try locking from both sides + trunk....
reaaaaly weird ****, i think my car is possessed lol

The GM thinks one door is still unlocked, that is why the doors unlock again to show you. Later GM's were changed and do not unlock anymore.
