car now off the road till i can find someone who can help me find the problem i can sourse the parts to repair thanks.
this sounds like its got a short or maybe a sensor telling the car not to lock...
you could try crashing the system by disconnecting the battery for say 10min re apply see if it will allow it to lock.
have you checked all door switches bonnet boot in case one is faulty...
Probably a daft question Kev, but does the interior light go out when all the doors are closed? or even the boot light? does sound like you have a dodgy door/boot switch?

Kev put the light onto door setting mate, and see if it stays on with all the doors shut?
If it does stay lit it'll probably be one of your door switches sticking or not working?
I know on the is200 if the door light switch isn't working properly the car won't lock, as it thinks it has a door open?
hi bandit.
just tried what you told me and the interior light goes out.still have the problem only now overnight battery goes just about flat really getting upset about this problem had a word with a couple of friends but told me car to complicated for them to look at it for me cannot afford to take it a garage as i no longer work so it looks like no shows etc for me till i can find someone to help.thanks for your input.
kev.
