Given recent street corner discussions I've bumped into, have you at some stage confused the locking cycle and are now stuck in a deadlocking cycle? The behaviour of the indicators changes for deadlocking as opposed to normal lock/unlock. When deadlock is engaged, the indicators will stay on a bit longer, then go off. In the last few weeks I have been profoundly amazed that many, many Holden owners are inadvertantly engaging deadlocking and confusing themselves (and the car's BCM!). Even my Holden techie got a giggle, but he said it's caused by drivers not familiarising themselves with the two locking types available, or forgetfully pressing lock twice then a third time. I think the car (->BCM that controls central locking) needs to be "rested" for about 15 minutes to reset, otherwise a service/check with the tech instrument would be wise to sort it (and the driver!) out. This implies that if you are not in difficulty with deadlocking, then the BCM needs a walk-through to ensure a fault hasn't developed.
