Astra door locking issue

Hi, I've got a 2023 Vauxhall Astra hybrid with about 249k km on the clock. Recently, the doors have stopped locking and unlocking. I suspect it's a faulty door contact signal. Any ideas?

Hey there. I had a similar issue with my old Peugeot a while back. The central locking went haywire. Does the car alarm still work? I'm wondering if it could be related to the wiring harness or a faulty car sensor somewhere.

Thanks for the quick reply! The car alarm does seem to be acting a bit strange too. Do you remember what the problem was exactly in your case? And which sensor do you mean?

Yeah, that sounds very similar to what I experienced. It turned out to be a defective connection – a cable or plug came loose on mine. I ended up taking it to a workshop as tracing the wire myself was a proper pain. I suspected a bad connection of the component.

Thanks for the advice! I'll get it checked out at the workshop. Turns out you were right – a cable connection was indeed faulty and cost me 95€ to repair. Appreciate the help!
