My W202 1997 C230 K has begun self locking, both when driving and after leaving the car after closing the door.
Once self locked, in order to open the car I have to press the remote twice in order for the door buttons to raise. I can hear the motor in the boot activating, but it does not continue to whir as if the pump is leaking.
When it self locks with no one in it it can be after 15 minutes or it can be within 5 secs.
If I am in the car and it has locked itself, just opening the door with the internal handle release all the doors.
The door lock button on the dash does not seem to be functioning at all.
I have tried to synch the remote to the car (rear view mirror) with no improvement.
Does this sound as though it needs a new pump unit in the boot, or is it a relay/contact/ problem.
Thanks for your help
