help please.

went to beach yesterday. but when I tried to start car battery was week just clicked a few times started with jump leads. and off to beach but here is the problem

when I locked the car it said no: click key - door locks then on its own unlocks and beeps twice.

used video to prove bonnet/hood locks correctly and puts light out. same for boot/trunk.

kept roof powered till fully closed and windows close as normal.

If anyone can help I would be very relieved and grateful as car is not in a garage

your Kevin

Sounds like you need a new battery.

All kinds of strange things happen in modern computer driven cars when the battery is low or weak.

I would start with a new battery.

Hi Loren

I have started it a couple of times. Surely if it has power to start it could lock the door. If you still think battery then that's what I'll do. Kevin

Have the battery and charging system load tested, which will confirm their current condition.  I would also have the car's alarm system scanned to see if there is an obvious fault that is keeping the car from locking.
