Hi all
I still have a slight problem with my central locking operating on its own without use of the fob.
I did the 3 wire splice repair as some suggested , it did need sorting as it fell apart , the wires are a little dark green with corrosion but I had to join them as if I took any more off they wouldn't reach .
I will revisit when I have some wire and get my soldering iron back form a mate  .
Problem is my central locking worked as normal of the fob with the wires all apart , is this normal ? 
It has got better only unlocking and relocking once over night not repeated as it was last week.
Can the fuse box get water in and corrode causing a short that unlocks the doors , if so would it show on a diagnostic devise , I only ask as its booked in at my local indy , but if its working fine at that time he may not spot it .
I did give the bonnet latch sensor a good clean out ,seemed to improve it ,surely that cant cause all of my issues ?
Don't know what more to do

The fuse box can get wet if water gets in from the scuttle. Check if the cabin filter is wet.

checked 2 days ago and both dry , I am pretty sure that the any water I do get and its not every time it rains or I wash it comes through the door seal , reasoning is when it first happened I did all the known forum checks for ingress and I repositioned the seal and it stopped it for quite a while .
Update on the actual problem of the central locking working without fob input seems to have stopped for now.
I am more confused that the fob worked the central locking fine with the 3 wires split apart , I assumed in ignorance that the re splice is a fix for the central locking not working when the fob is activated .
I have it booked in for a diagnostic , however would it show if the fault is not present not sure if this is a fault that would log, am I wasting my time with a code read ?
