I had a Ford Sierra years and years ago that did that. Where the wires for the central locking, electric windows and speakers went from the body to the doors, the insulation had perished after time and constant twisting as the doors opened and closed, and the central locking wires shorted out. Check the state of the insulation, if this is the cause in your case you should be able to fix it with a bit of insulating tape.

Ok, will try that. I've taken the lead of the battery for now so as not to have a flat battery in the morning. I will get hubby to look at that in the morning. Thanks

Have you got the Code for the radio Jim? to add to spike's post, if one of the other doors on the car has not been closed properly, that will cause the C.L. not to work! have you checked this?

Hi TWR, Yes I did check that the doors were all closed and they were. We took the battery lead off last night so that the battery would be drained and we though that had cure he problem as it wasn't doing it all morning after we put it back on. Then when we went to go out later the remote wouldn't work to open the doors but did to close them. At least that is better than having the thing opening on it's own when we aren't around. It does open manually with the key. As long as that remains the case I'll leave it till I take it in for it's service and MOT on Monday week. I will let the mechanics look at it. Hubby and I know next to nothing about cars.

And we do have the code for the radio. Thanks for your input. Jools

I was going to suggest you take the connecting plugs from each door and spray with WD 40 Jim, but you say that you are taking the car in, For your sake & your pocket I hope you are not taking it to the Ford dealers?

No, definitely not Ford Dealer - Our local garage. We've found them fairly reasonable, they know the car and have been helpful in the past. Thanks again.
