Mini Paceman Keyless Access System Malfunction

My 2015 Mini Paceman, with approximately 109000 km, presents a malfunctioning keyless access system. The system is logging an error. Preliminary diagnostics indicate a potential cable or plug connection issue within the door electronics.

I had a similar issue with my Volvo some time ago; the keyless entry stopped working on the driver's side. Diagnostic pointed to a fault in the door electronics. Have you checked the door actuator or the door handle wiring harness? A damaged or corroded connector could potentially be the source of the problem. What error code is being reported?

Regarding the wiring harness, is there a known vulnerability area I should inspect?

Confirming what I have said previously, a faulty connection is plausible. The issue with my Volvo was intermittent at first, then became permanent. Given the diagnostic points to a similar cause and the potential for component damage during self-repair, you might consider consulting a workshop. They possess the necessary tools and expertise to diagnose and repair electric door issues.

Thank you for the information. As suspected, the diagnostic confirmed a defective door switch within the door handle. Repair was completed at a cost of 95€.
