Kangoo central locking failure

Central locking on my 2014 diesel Kangoo isn't working. Doors won't lock or unlock, and there's an error stored. Suspect a bad cable or connection. Anyone seen this?

Sounds familiar! I've got a Kangoo too. Had a similar problem with the central locking a while back. Have you checked the fuse box? Sometimes a blown fuse can cause all sorts of weird electrical issues. Also, does your car have an aftermarket security system or car alarm installed?

Fuses related to the security system and central locking are intact. No aftermarket alarm. What was the issue in your case? Was it a complex fix?

Right, if the fuses are okay and there's no aftermarket alarm, it's probably something more involved. Mine turned out to be a corroded connector in the door wiring harness. Needed a bit of fiddling to find. Honestly, unless you're comfortable with auto electrics, I'd suggest taking it to a workshop. They'll have the tools to diagnose it properly. I ended up paying about 95€ for the repair, including parts and labor.

I appreciate the information. Given your experience and the potential complexity, I will consult a trusted workshop to diagnose and resolve the central locking issue. Thanks for the help.
