I think it might be a loose earth behind the dash. Most strange electrical faults tend to be poor earths.

If opening the door causes something to energise the speakers I'd look at the wiring from the door to the driver side footwell which you mention.

Don't let them grind you down !

hi guys thanks for all your help finally got to the bottom of the central locking and the radio problem after taking the dash out and looking at the relays they were OK. the problem was the connection block under the wing from the passengers door it was very wet cleaned the terminals and dried it out with an air dryer every thing is working fine now thanks trident.

PS i think the cause of the wetness was from jet washing wheel-arches. great forum.
