I have encountered a strange problem. It started two days ago, and is getting worse.
I would like to mention that I did search this, and I also read over the Door Lock Failure help page on rr.net. My problem is similar, but also different. Here's my issue.
The other day I was driving to work, and the car locked itself randomly. It used to do this from time to time, and I just dismissed it as I always have. It then unlocked itself about 10 seconds later, and I again dismissed it. However, as the day went on, it did it once or twice again - much more frequently than I'm used to. The following day, the same problem ensued, however, only the driver's door (LHD) this time. It did it a couple more times throughout the day, but the car still locked and unlocked fine. Today as I got home from work, I went to lock my car, and only the driver door locked. (I should mention that the batteries on my remote are dead, and I've been using the key to lock and unlock the car for the past two years). I tried locking and unlocking a couple of times, and only the driver door responded. If I opened the rear door when the driver door was locked, nothing happened. I then tried using the remote while the key was in the door, and it had just enough juice to lock the car. I then unlocked it with they key, but only the driver door unlocked, and the alarm sounded when I opened the door. I had to re-lock the car with the remote again to shut off the alarm - the key wouldn't do it. I've left it at that - locked by whatever juice is in the remote, hoping that tomorrow it will unlock it one more time. Until I fix the problem, I'll just have to clear out the car and keep it unlocked.
I've been having issues with the power window on the same door if it makes any difference, and whenever the window acted up, I occasionally got a warning on the dash saying something along the lines of "Anti Trap Off" (I think off, maybe on?) but I haven't been able to look into that yet. My issues with the window are in a related forum post http://rangerovers.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=39131
Ideas?
