Today, I've finally cleared all of the codes on my '98 XJ8 (junkyard resoldered ABS module and Camshaft sensor off ebay), but when I try to lock the doors, they appear to struggle to lock, while the alarm sets fine. After manual lock, they don't want to lock, either.
I couldn't see any lock related codes in the scan of the modules.
The remote seems to do everything, but lock/unlock the doors. The driver inner door handle doesn't lock or unlock the doors like on my XK8, so that might point to the problem.
When you say they struggle to lock, can you see the manual knob moving? Off hand I would think your locking modules may simply need cleaned of built up gunk.
What is the condition of the battery, ....how old and what's the voltage you get?
I would also try a hard reset...remove the battery terminals and then touch them together for about 20 seconds to bleed off any excess power. Then wait about 2 minutes....reapply the terminals and see what happens.
The next thing may be to remove the driver door card and disconnect the control module in the door, leave it off for about 2 minutes and reapply and test.
XF 2009. Had previous issues with three other locks, over a period of time, drivers door, front passenger and rear off side, all replaced over time. When they went faulty car would not lock so needed immediate replacement. Problem now is rear near side door does not unlock from fob. Following being opened from inside, I thought it was relocking from fob but apparently not. This is unlike all other locking issues as alarm would not set until faulty door was locked manually. Any help would be appreciated not BUT the car alarm will set leaving the door unlocked. Can lock & unlock manually from inside.

Also, it is a site requirement to introduce yourself here... https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...-intro-must-5/
I suggest also putting your make and model in your signature so others can identify it more easily instead of having to read the thread...cheers and enjoy the site.
Having joined 2/7/2019 I may have wrongly assumed I had introduced myself already, maybe my mistake, however included in my profile are details of myself and my vehicle. As this is a Jaguar forum I took it that my vehicle would be understood to be as such. The first two words of my post, "XF 2009 would give an indication as to my vehicle type. Wrong thread? Well an unfortunate error on my part, so, thanks for nothing, I will now revert to visiting my Jaguar repair garage where they not only offer a great service but do so with courtesy of which I have become accustomed.

Congeniality is such an integral part of most threads I almost did not recognize
this response for what it is.

So be it, but understand, this is the X308 section, as I stated it's totally different wiring, plus motor, drive-line and suspension and I did state as to why to put your vehicle info in your signature...sorry you're a bit butt hurt. But there are rules for a reason and a reason why there are specific forums for each model, so folks who know that model can appropriately answer your questions. I hope you're understanding to this.

Fob sets alarm, but doesn't lock/unlock the doors
