Central locking problem
The latest problem: the central locking, which was working perfectly up to this morning, now refuses to work. I can still lock each door manually, but:

Thanks, chaps.
Fuses: will check in daylight, but seems unlikely because the key-fob button still unlocks the doors; it just doesn't lock them. I would have thought a blown fuse would stop the system working altogether. Door lock mechanisms: could be, but is it likely that all four have failed on the same day? Do you know any way of testing them, please? |

If you get a beep when locking via the key fob that tells you something is open, check the bonnet switch as it may be causing the issue.

Same applies with mine; if bonnet or boot open, the central locking gives a beep but still locks the doors. Nevertheless, I will check the bonnet switch, because water could easily have got in there yesterday.

"Curiouser and curiouser," said Alice
The latest development: since this morning, everything has been working perfectly again! A huge relief, and it eliminates the possibilities of blown fuses or failed door mechanisms, but does leave me wondering why the problem occurred! Thanks to those who helpfully offered suggestions: much appreciated, as always.

You didn't have a spare set of keys anywhere near the ignition?
Sure I read somewhere that if the car senses the chip in the fob it won't let you lock it. |

I too have heard that having both keys close together can cause problems, but on this occasion, the spare key was nowhere near. Thanks for the thought, anyway.
