XKR Central Locking

[RTK]

I wonder if anyone can help. I have had a series of XJs and recently made the move to my first XKR the cars is a 2003 and I am very happy but recently has developed an odd fault. It locks fine but occasionally when I unlock it sounds like it is locking and in locking multiple times. It always ends up unlocked and starts fine.

Take a look at the battery, as strange as it sounds these electrical faults tend to happen when the battery is on it's way out.

Charlie,

 

Found this

 

"It is fuse 19 in the fuse box between the rear seats but it's only the XKR that has a fully active exhaust the XK uses a semi active system and as far as I know it's the pressure in the exhaust that opens the valves so unless it's an R you might be out of luck."

 

On mine it is Fuse 19 in the passenger compartment fuse box, for the exhaust (10 amp and red), and Fuse 19 ( 5 amp and tan colour) in the rear compartment fuse box for the Ariel

 

Don't remove any fuses from the engine compartment fuse box
