Default Self unlocking doors....any ideas?

I've tried a search for this, but unable to find anything exactly the same, so any help would be gratefully received .

My 2003 WRX has just started to intermittently unlock all the car doors without them being commanded to do so.

I was driving along this morning and all I could hear was an intermittent clicking of the central locking. When I stopped and locked the car using the keyfob button, the doors immediately unlocked again (Although alarm was now armed).
When I tried to lock the doors with the key in the doorlock, again, but not immediately, the doors unlocked all by itself. Then I could hear the locks again clicking to unlock intermittently.

Has anyone ever encountered this problem before, and if so what was the cause of it/what fixed it???

Many thanks for giving this some thought.

Cheers,

Phil

Mine turned out to be a faulty C/L contol unit (Under driver's lower dash panel on newage), which is behind the glovebox on a classic I believe? Just a wee bit larger than the size of a *** packet. This also control the courtessy lights.

Unplug it and lock the doors amnually until you can get it sorted. At least you can secure the doors, and manually arm the alarm?

Hope this helps.
