Simon_CSK Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Nick Welcome to the forum. My guess would be water/dampness in the BeCM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Often it's a bad microswitch in one of the doors. This causes the BeCM to think the button is pushed, so it reacts by activating all the locks. Easy to test, but you do need to take off the door cards.

MikeAK Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Hi, Mine was doing this. I took door cards off both front doors and checked microswitch operation which turned out to be perfect. I eventually tracked it down to a corroded connector in the left hand door pillar (I assume the right hand will have similar). It's accessible behind the where the rubber tube enters the pillar, just pull out the rubber and fish out the connector. I cleaned mine with switch cleaner and packed with dielectric grease. No problems 12 months later. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete3000 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Door lock doorbell. The drivers door microswitch was the failure point on mine. The second giveaway was the EKA code wouldn't go in till it was repaired. i.e no response flash from the indicators. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
