Hi all
Our ZX Furio's remote locking has started to play up intermittently. Previously damp weather seemed to be causing the mechanism to stick in the drivers door - you could hear the system attempting to open the doors when you operated the remote. It would still work to lock them.
This went away after a while but now the system won't work at all - central locking is still fully functional on the key, and we came out to find it had opened itself overnight!!
Any ideas?!

Hi Adrian,
I really would like to offer a solution, but I have exactly the same problem with my ZX!!!
The central locking plip does'nt always work, depite new batteries, although key operation is fine, and also it does sometimes unlock itself.
Someone suggested to me that one of the door locking solenoids could be at fault, they stick, but I don't know which of the five (including tailgate) is at fault. I also don't see how this would affect the remote central locking.
I wonder whether the unit in the roof (the plip receive unit) is at fault.
Any suggestions welcome!

Thanks for the advice!
Of course now it's stopped raining it's now working again!!
I guess that would suggest a poor connection in the door or the roof sensor. Luckily I've only got 3 doors to worry about but I suspect the drivers door is at fault as the NS has been replaced previously.
Will keep you posted if I manage to trace the cause.
