When we first got our 306 estate about 3 years ago I had to repair the drivers side door loom, speaker and window problems, and the car has been great.
About 3 days ago the door locks began to play up. Lock the doors with radio fob button and they would lock then unlock. I checked and all doors where closed properly and tried again. They behaved.
Today I found the car unlocked, maybe I didn't lock it properly yesterday.
Tried to start the engine and no go. Good cranking and I'm sure I could hear the tank pump. Still no go, so open and close the drivers door and retry, bingo, she starts thank god.
The radio key fob had a new battery about 2 years ago and seem to have enough range.
Am I correct in assuming a possible problem with the door loom again, a make a break contact in one of the wires to the door?
Which colour wires would I be interested in for the lock popping problem please?
Is a repair section available with the car loom side connection and say 2 foot of wires, or is it a visit to the scrappy for this part, if I should need it ?
I have yet to check the water drain under the wiper motor for blockage but last time I checked ( do it fairly regularly as I had found it flooded soon after getting the car ) it was ok.
All help and advise greatly appreciated as I am still learning with this car.
