How to Deal with Repeated Automatic Door Locking and Unlocking?

Press the disarm button twice to completely deactivate the security system. If it doesn't deactivate, within 30 seconds after pressing the disarm button, turn the car key to ACC ON and then back. After turning off the engine and removing the key, if the doors are not locked with the remote, they will not automatically lock even after a long time. If the unlock button on the remote is accidentally pressed while locking, the doors will automatically relock after a short period if no one is present. This feature will be disabled if someone opens the door.

The other day while driving home, my car doors suddenly started locking and unlocking on their own, repeatedly making noise like crazy, which scared me out of my wits. I thought someone was playing a prank, but after checking the remote key, I found the battery was nearly dead, causing unstable signals. I simply replaced it with a new battery, and the problem disappeared—so convenient. Actually, such repeated door antics could be due to key interference or weak signals; sometimes keeping a phone too close can also cause interference. Remember, don’t store the remote near electromagnetic devices, and make it a habit to check the key’s battery level—test the remote’s response monthly. If the issue persists after replacing the battery, it’s likely a fault in the door control module, so head to the repair shop ASAP. Safety first—don’t delay, especially before night driving.

I've researched car lock systems, and common causes include remote signal interference, low battery power, or poor wiring connections. The solution is straightforward: first, try manually locking the doors. If that works, the issue lies with peripheral devices. Replace the key fob battery to see if that resolves it. If not, disconnect the car battery for 10 minutes to reset the system and eliminate any software glitches. If the problem persists, it might be due to an aging or stuck door lock motor, which requires lubrication or replacement. DIY costs less than 200 yuan, and inspecting it yourself by removing the door panel isn't difficult. Humid weather can cause short circuits in wiring, so adding a waterproof cover can help prevent this. The key is not to delay—prolonged issues can burn out circuits or even affect the anti-theft system. Here's a tip: regularly clean dust from the door gaps.

I've personally witnessed repeated door lock failures leading to accidents—it's extremely dangerous! If car doors keep opening and closing automatically, the vehicle could be stolen or accidentally injure someone. You must immediately turn off the engine and park. First, check the remote control's status and try replacing its battery. If that doesn't work, manually operate the door lock button as an emergency measure. Potential causes include aging wiring or control unit malfunctions. It's recommended to take the car to a professional repair shop the same day—don't skimp on this expense. Safety is no trivial matter, especially on slippery roads during rain. Address the issue promptly to prevent greater losses.
