It would be one of the door locks not locking fully or properly. That means theres a fault somewhere. Have a look at the manual if you have it Im sure it says it there somewhere

mine was doing the exact same thing, after i had my windows tinted. They hadn't put the red button on the door lock back in properly and it was getting caught on the way down. It could also be one of the other sensors eg, boot or bonnet.

Hey dude... I've seen this happen with locks before, as the other guys said its probabley that one of the locks isn't locking properly. It can either be because the snib button on the lock (the bit that you can see) isn't pushed in properly as "'97 Sen" said. Or it could be a connection onto the locking actuator or the actuator itself that is starting to crap out. From what I have seen in the past, the actuator is most likely the problem as it is an intermittant issue. the hard part will be in determining which door is actually the problem... as far as diagnosis goes, I really cannot help too much.

Good luck

It is telling that you have a problem, holden have put cheap lock assemblies into there vehicle and the chirping from the horn is telling you that you have not got all of your doors locks or at least the indication of all the doors not being locked.

the missus VS started to do that, it was the rear drivers side door lock not locking properly. stopped doing it now though and i haven't touched it.

Ihad a problem with my vr and it took some finding and it traced back to the wiring in the drivers door .
