Keyless locking has a mind of its own
When washing the car (keyless fob in my pocket) the car keeps unlocking and locking by itself!
Is this caused by spray on the door handles or something else?

Err... if your fob is close and something goes around the door handle then then the car will unlock as that is what it is designed to do. When washing your remaining choices are:
- Unlock the car
or
- Lock the car and put the fob somewhere safe
First-world problem I think.

I was going to say another reason to be able to switch off keyless entry.
Except I don't wash mine. That's what the service & MOT is for!!

I’ve had this before. If the key is in your pocket and you’re close enough, the water from a hose hitting the handle in the correct area will make the car think someone has grabbed the handle.
