I don't think the passenger door lock is 'live'. I think if you have a 'plip' this occupies the terminals on the control unit that would otherwise be used for the passenger door lock. This is certainly the case on our 94 ZX.

I dont want to mention the F word in here but on Ford's the rear locks have switches in them to say if they are locked or not. If any of the doors don't lock correctly they all unlock. So you can get the fault on any door lock. Not sure if Xantia's have switch's in the lock or not and I don't have the workshop manual handy to check the wiring drawing. Sorry again for swearing in here

Hi, I had a problem with my 93 xantia unlocking itself straight after I had locked it either with the plip or with the locks themselves. After doing a bit of Sherlock Holmes, I deduced that the passenger door lock was at fault, I removed the door panel (front door), then removed the wiring connector. I then tried using the plip and all except the passenger door lock worked okay as it should. I reconected the wiring plug to the lock and pushed it firmly in place. Tried the plip again and hey presto!!!![:)] it all worked. After refitting the door panel and putting the lock cap back on, I tried the plip again, and it unlocked after locking. [V][V].
I removed the lock cap and tried the plip again and it worked[:I], After more investigation I found the bar leading to the internal lock cap from the lock was bent and it only need minimal resistance to make the lock unlock, therefore I have the cap in place but not fitted to the lock bar. Everything works as it should now[8)]. Touch wood
Regards
Paul
