They'll all cycle and then unlock again - followed by the horn chirping.Door ajar light is only active when the ignition is on from memory.

Get on ebay, guy down in vic selling recoed actuators for 75 delivered to your door with a 2 year warranty. He sends the recoed actuator and a prepaid post pack so you can send the rooted actuator to him for the 2 year warranty, he obviously just repairs your stuffed one and resells it. Considering fraud wanted 180 I thought it was a good deal. Been in there for over a month now and no issues.The doors opening on their own is a prickly one. Whats the BEM? The problem I have now is my door ajar light stays on permanently, looked at door switches but they are weird in themselves. Bloody electricals, give me mechanical anyday, least you can work out what it is and fix it relatively easy. Give Thompson Fraud a call at parramatta and ask to speak to one of the techs. Out of 4 fraud dealers I have dealt with over the years these guys are the only ones that dont have their heads up their arses.

If so it may be on its way out as well?

I did pull the actuator apart to have a look but the screw was fully intact, all seemed pretty good.

Went out to get some pizza tonight and on the way home, the courtesy light came on a few times (turned it off with the dome button on the ICC dash) like there is a loose wire or something making intermittent contact. W T F There was a bit of a downpour in Melbourne last night and wondering if there is water ingress into the door circuitry causing an intermittent short somewhere. Ah well - means don't need to take it in first thing Monday - but will see if I can get it looked at soon. Darn annoying
