Avantime Door Lock Issue

My 2002 Renault Avantime (gasoline engine) door won't lock/unlock with the central locking at 105643 km. Could it be the door latch, car alarm or wiring harness?

Had a similar issue in my old Saab 9-3. Is the car alarm acting up, or just the locks? Have you checked the door wiring harness where it passes from the body to the door? That's a common spot for breaks.

I'll check the car alarm and wiring harness. When you had this on your Saab, was it a full harness replacement, or could you fix it with splicing? What was the repair cost?

No alarm issues, just the locks. Never got around to fixing it myself. Took it to a workshop, and they sorted it. Considering the symptoms, I would recommend you do the same.

Took it to the workshop, and you were spot on – faulty door contact signal, traced to a defective cable/plug connection. 95€ later, and she's working again.
