Hi,
I have a 93 XM and last night when I came out of work the car was unlocked
but still with the alarm on, So I tried to lock it again with no luck the
doors locked then promptly unlocked themselves but the alarm was on (it went
off when I opened the door) I wondered if it was a battery problem but after
a ten min drive home it's still the same! Reading through the Haynes manual
gives no clues, has anyone come across this before ? or have any idea what
it could be

Regards,
Norman

mine do this if one of the doors isn't quite shut

perhaps one of your door status sensors (or interior light door switches
...) is dodgy? check th e contacts for cr&p and clean 'em up with an emery
(?) board or somesuch ....
