08 Opel Astra 3dr. Problem with central locking and more

    Looking for some help / advice.
    Have an 08 Astra 3dr , runs grand, NCT passed etc no hassle.

    In the last week, the clicker for the central locking stopped working, assume battery , so ive been locking the driver door which locks the two doors but NOT the boot. Which is a worry

    Yesterday I parked up at the house, key out opened door and then this beep started happening as if I was leaving lights on (it was set to auto) so I turned it to 0 (off) and the noise stopped.

    This morning parked up at bank , same thing happened with the beep and the radio didn’t turn off when I pulled the keys and opened the door.

    Any idea of how I can fix this?
    Also, is the battery in the key fob easily replaced? Its the spare key

    Sounds like a drivers door open/closed switch is faulty?

    I had similar problems with my 06 Astra in the past, turned out to be an issue with worn insulation/ short circuit on the wiring loom in one of the doors- simple wear and tear.

    So now I noticed that when I lock the driver door with the key that the passenger door stays unlocked
