Hi guys, just thought i'd add to this to
help anybody out that ever gets this. I had this
problem start few weeks ago, with the car locking itself as soon as i started the engine. then it changed to putting the interior light on randomly and kept trying to unlock the car ever few seconds!
Searched around on here and it apeared to be a common fault with people, especially in damp/rain or frosty conditions!
As posted above by ****yfin2000, its the Comfort control module which is bolted onto the drivers side door window motor. I took off the door card, pealed back (carefully!!) the white screen, then you need to lower the window about 5cm, and you can see through 2 big cut out holes there are the 2 metal holders which grip the window, you can losen these using a 10mm socket then you can lift the window by hand and clamp/tape it up.
Once the window is secure there is 5 gold bolts holding in the motor essembly and runners, 3 at the front, 2 at the back, these just need to be losened, not taken out completely. then you can remove the back rail then the front rail, and unplug the cable to the motor.
I then took mine into the warm and checked it out, if you look at the front there is a L shaped silver cover by the plug, unscrew the 5 screws and remove the cover, mine was very damp inside.
I used a hair dryer to dry mine off then left it to sit in the warm for a hour to make sure it was completely dry. Then using some black silcone sealer, i sealed up any areas i thought could be better, around the plug seal and a little around the L shaped seal. Then put it all back together. and leave it dry!
I then refitted the unit to the door, dropped the window into place and tightened up everything, then refitted the door card.
Touch wood! it works perfect know, and it was doing it none stop with me, so fingers crossed its sorted!
Cost me nothing but a very small amount of silcone sealer and my own time!
Hope this helps you guys with the same
problem!
good diagnosis without even seeing the car
