RE: 93 S4 power lock problem

[Øyvind Ellefsen <oyvind.ellefsen@lantec.no>]

Hi Steve!

I had the same thing on my '94 S4 4.2

Leave the doors unlocked, disconnect the battery for a minute (resets the
alarm), and everything should be back to normal. My locks did lock/unlock
themselves all the time while the driver side door was open. Weird.  It
happened because my remote infrared is not working 100%, and the alarm/locks
went out of sync i think.
