Stopping the autolock on Disco I

[dherbs85]

Which fuse do I pull to stop my Disco from automatically locking and unlocking all the doors?

When you say auto locking/unlocking, when is this happening? If when putting into gear or out of gear, then this has to be turned off by the dealer or similar with Testbook (LR specific computer)

If this is just happening randomly, then it sounds like the alarm ECU is going bad.

I think he means that when you lock or unlock the drivers door all the doors follow suit. And as far as I know this is hardwired and not reliant on a fuse--well, if a fuse could stop it, pulling that fuse would likely affect other electronic components. I wish that the doors did not lock and unlock 'all or nothing' like they do, but knowing these British and their electronics, who knows what kind of issues we would have if we had seperate locking mechanisms...

thanks guys im just going to try to remove the motors

Bad move.

Your alarm will still interpret the (physically) unlocked doors as locked, and the alarm will go off when one of those doors is opened. Unless you remove the sensors, which IIRC will affect the ignition.

Just deal with this little "quirk" of British Engineering...

good call, i have to lock all the doors from the passenger side, how much do u think it will run to fix this quirk?
