You can't lock the doors manually when any door is open. You have to use the remote. If the doors are closed you can lock them manually. I do not think its the intera switch at all. Do they lock w/ the remote?

hi thanks for responding,
The doors lock with remote and manualy, but imediatley unlock. I have tried everything including reseting switch which was in up position. After I reset switch I was getting a beep when I activated remote lock, that I wasn't getting before I reset inertia switch. I than unplugged switch and still got the same results which is leading me to believe that the switch is junk.

Does the car run ? If so, not the switch. When locking the horn blows once ? Do all door sill buttons go down ? then up ?

Hmm... Never seen that on a D2. If all doors ( 5 ) are closed it should not beep and unlock. It is thinking there is an open door. Could be a bad latch or wiring issue.
A good introduction to British electronics for ya

The locks worked fine, until I activated the child safety latch on the rear pasenger side door. Im thinking that may of somehow created the problem.
