Do I site serach for this one. I'm sure there's a couple of threads about this problem being down to the rubber tube from the door to the body work. Something about the wiring inside becoming broken.

I've found that this is caused by the a lock being partly seized and the solenoid not having enough power to overcome the resistance.

I spent a saturday moring taking all the locks off my wifes car and giving them and all linkages a good clean and grease. Worked fine ever since.

of course could be a chaffed wire causing a voltage drop leading to the same symptons.
