Hi
Please, does anyone know how the Focus´door locking system works? I need that information in order to plan on what will I do to fix my Focus´ strange behaviour:
Whenever the weather gets cold (and where I live - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil - "cold" also means "pouring rain" or "high air humidity") the driver´s door lock fails to also operate on the other three (I own a 4-door Sedan). This failure can range from a few seconds delay until the other locks operate to a several minutes delay to no operation at all, depending on how cold the weather is.
Worse still, sometimes during a trip I hear a click from the doors as if someone was operating on them (for example, trying to unlock an already unlocked door). There were also a couple of times I found my car unlocked upon returning but I swear it was locked when I left.
The problem vanishes as soon as the sun shines again or temperature is high anyway. Also, when operated from the passenger´s door or from the key´s remote the locking system always works as expected, but random locking/unlocking can still occur.
Any ideas, please?
Thank you,
Otto
