Intermittent Locking Issue FOB-Multiple Engagements
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Good evening.
2005 Super V8 (92K) is recently experiencing a strange intermittent behavior when locking and/or unlocking.
After parking, sometimes when locking the car with the fob, the locks will engage 2-4 additional times. Just spent some time in the garage looking at this and it seems:
-the multiple locking/unlocking issue does not occur when locking the car with the key in the drivers door
-when locking, if the behavior is present, the driver door will lock and remain locked while the other doors may land and rest in the unlock position (depending on the number of times the mechanism engages)
-other times all four doors will lock on the first attempt with FOB remote
-other times all four doors will unlock on first attempt with FOB remote
I have had the battery on charger and have driven the car a couple days to rule out low battery as the cause. I have lubed the catches and driver lock with graphite lubricant.
I would like to remedy this, so am looking forward to any suggestions you may have.
Thank you-
