Hi guys, first post. 

Have a potential issue which I noticed over last few days and worried it's gonna turn into something big. Cart starts fine but it has started making the door lock sound  (although they aren't locking) and the hazard lights flash once or twice. I thought it was me at first hitting the lock button on the key by mistake but the wife has had the same thing. As I said it's not caused any serious issue as yet but worried we will end up stranded somewhere. Have Googled it but can find nowt..

 

Any ideas please ?

The central locking and the immobiliser are normally entirely separate systems on a Ford.

Central locking works from the remote, or via the manual controls or the door key.

Immobilser is a sensor on the ignition barrel that senses a chip buried in the ignition key (nothing to do with the remote control). If detected ok, the pcm (engine computer) allows the engine to start.

Central locking problems are common, and usually just a nuisance. Have a look at the fusebox & electronic module that lurk under the glovebox somewhere to see if there is any loose connectors or corrosion or water damage. After that it gets harder, and would probably need expert diagnosis. But it is not likely to be urgent, unless it starts unlocking when parked, or flattening the battery.
