Did have a similar problem on a Citroen.
After much fiddling about it turned out to be adjustment. Took lots of messing about to sort it.
Problem is which door is the problem.
Have a cursary look at the lock mechanisms and if there is nothing obviously wrong would suggest you try a good garage. Trying to sort it can take a lot of time and a lot of hair pulling.
Sorry I cannot be more helpful but the locking mechanisms are a real pain.
If it's any help, the Hab door wasn't closing fully, and allowing thw wind to whistle through the gap, so I adjusted the frame peg a little further into the opening, but it didn't make any difference becasue the rubber seals wouldn't allow the door to go in any further, but when the door is fully closed you can still push it into the opening about 1/4" or 6-7mm.
I've just been out to see if I could get it to stay locked by any other means.
If I open the hab door, and trip the lock into the shut position, with a screwdriver, then I can lock the doors by any means IE with any of door locks, even the hab door, or with the fob, but as soon as I shut the hab door (even by slamming) it won't stay locked.
Puzzled doesn't even describe my mind at the moment, I'm very mechanically minded but this just has me foxed.
Any and all suggestion no matter how daft you may think them, very gratefully received.
If no one can help with the central locking issue, can anyone tell me how to disable it so I can at least secure it overnight, I assume there will be a fuse I can pull.
It's a Laika Ecovip 7RG 2001 on a Fiat 2.8 chassis.
If the central locking locks then unlocks when you press the fob then there is definitely something not closing properly. My Merc does exactly the same thing if one of the doors/boot is not properly closed.
You say that if you trip the lock on the hab door then everything locks OK so there is your clue. Something is not engaging right home and the system 'thinks' that a door is not properly closed.
You adjusted the hab door.... have you re-adjusted back to where it was?

i would say your hab door lock is not making the circuit when closed,your proof of this is that when you force it with the screwdriver everything works.

Hi Kev,
I would agree with Karlb. It sounds as though the latch on the hab door is not locating properly on the frame catch, ie, not enough for the central locking to fully engage. Have you adjusted the catch on the door frame? If not, you may need to.
Jock.
