Kuga Door Lock Failure

I'm having a bizarre electrical issue with my 2009 Ford Kuga diesel. The door contact signal seems to have gone completely bonkers, and none of the doors lock or unlock anymore. I've checked the fuses and the wiring harness where it enters the door jamb, but nothing obvious. At 206757 km, could it be a tired door sensor?

Sounds like a dodgy door sensor. Is it just one door or are all affected? If it's all doors, it could be something else, maybe the central locking module itself?

Good point. It's affecting all the doors simultaneously. Where exactly is that central locking module located on the Kuga? Maybe there's a relay I can check before tearing everything apart.

Hmm, all doors points away from individual sensors. I'm not sure about the exact location on the Kuga, but it's often behind the glove box or under the steering wheel. Honestly, if you're not confident with electrics, it might be best to have a workshop take a look. Could save you time and prevent further issues.

Yeah, you're right, messing with it blindly could make things worse. I took it to the shop. Turns out a plug connection on the component was defective. 95€ later, everything's working again. Thanks for the advice!
