check if the fuse for the center lock is corroded

also have a look at the wiring coming from the c-pillars to the trunk lid, sometimes the wires get damaged and shorted, what won't necessarily blow the fuse but let the lock system do funny things.

I have ******* here at the shop, but the wiring diagrams are HUGE, and split up into multiple sections. If it gets worse again, feel free to stop by, and I'll take a look at it.
