hi just thouight i would let you all know i have solved the mysterious problem ..
my alarm horn went up in smoke the other month.. just as i was driving smoke in the car night mare..
got a new horn and loom ready to fit.. but first i needed to find the electrical short that caused the problem,,  since the smoke, my drives passenger door would not lock any more.. plus the curb lights on the door was not working either, so first checked the fuse under the dash , that was ok. now this fuse 20amp handles the central locking and the kurb light. when removed ,, yes u gueased it the locking did not work and no kurb lights on all doors replace it all working bar that drivers passeger door.

so i traced all the way to the rubber cable cover which goeas from piller to door,, two broken wires,, repaired all ok.. i spoke to some one at gm and the said it was a design fault,, so i replaced the brken cable with a rubber coated wire, which can handle more door opening and closing.. so if you get a locking or door light problem ,, put this on your check list

Thanks for info

Not a problem I've seen or heard off, so not sure if it is a big problem to make it worth changing, but certainly helps to know if anyone does get this happen to them

So if VX said it was a design fault and could cause a fire then surely they should do a recall and rectifiy the problem?
