I’m not too familiar with H4/MK3 Fiesta electric, but I have had issues with central locking. It sounds like the contacts in one of the motor/lock mechanisms have got faulty. Given that you have disconnected the driver’s side mechanism, perhaps there is a fault with the passenger side mechanism. You can lock/unlock many cars at either front door lock. When you operate the key in the lock it activates some contact that apply voltage to the other locks. It sounds like the contacts in one of your locks are working correctly. So I’d try disconnecting the passenger side and reconnecting the driver’s side lock. If that doesn’t solve the issue I’d suspect the control relay.

The car has electric windows from the original donor but it also has an aftermarket security system. However I suspect the latter is not responsible as the problem seems entirely independent of the security system status. Basically the locking just keeps locking and unlocking, stopping occasionally. It does this when static or on the move. It appears to have no effect on any other system - the alarm which triggers the locks is not itself being triggered to set/unset. I took the door card off the driver's door wondering if I had accidentally unhitched something. I unplugged the cabling to the mechanism and the fault remains as it was, constantly locking and unlocking but sometimes stopping for a while. So clearly the fault is not in the driver's door lock module. I've left the car without power for now - it took me a while to figure out how to set things so I could still get in after I'd closed everything without power connected! But that appears to be OK. Anyway, if anyone knows what might be causing this, I'd appreciate any words of wisdom.
