Laguna door lock fault

I'm having an issue with my 2003 Renault Laguna diesel. The door contact signal seems faulty, and the doors can't be locked or unlocked. I suspect it's a cable or plug connection. Any guidance?

Hey! I had a similar problem with my old Opel Astra. The automatic locks went haywire, and it turned out to be a broken wire in the door latch wiring harness. Have you checked the harness where it goes from the car body into the door? That's where mine failed.

Thanks for the suggestion. Can you give more details on how you found the broken wire? Did you use any tools or methods to diagnose it?

Well, I just started by wiggling the wiring harness with the door open to see if the locks would flicker. When they did, I knew I was close. Then I carefully inspected the wires, and I found one that was almost completely severed inside the insulation. Honestly, though, these modern cars are so complex now, I'd suggest taking it to a workshop if you're not comfortable messing with it. Could save you a lot of hassle!

I appreciate the advice. I took it to a workshop, and it was a defective plug connection, as I suspected. The repair cost 95€, and it's now fixed. Thanks again!
