Outside door handle electronics problems with Seat Alhambra Diesel (2017): Experiences and suggested solutions

Hey guys, have you ever had problems with the exterior door handle electronics on a Seat Alhambra Diesel (2017 model year)? I can no longer lock or unlock the doors and the lights flicker or are dimmed. I suspect an electronics problem, but I need clear information and your experience to narrow it down. How did you get to grips with this at your garage and what experiences have you had? Every tip is worth its weight in gold. Thanks in advance!

Summary of the thread

The conversation centers around a problem with the exterior door handle electronics on a 2017 Seat Alhambra Diesel, where the doors cannot be locked or unlocked, and the lights flicker or dim. A possible cause identified is a corrupted fuse in the door handle electronics, as experienced by another owner with a similar issue. The suggested solution is to visit a garage to have the power supply checked and potentially replaced, which previously cost around 52 euros for a similar fix.

Hi, I'm not a mechanic, but I do know a bit about cars. My Seat Alhambra (built in 2015) had a similar electronics problem last year. I had a corrupted fuse in the outside door handle electronics, which led to the locking and lighting problem. What I did was go to my local garage and simply had the power supply replaced. They looked at it and it cost me around 52 euros, which was really fair. So, it's best to go to your garage and have them check it out. It could be something similar in your case. Can you give me any more details about your vehicle? Model year? Mileage? Then I might be able to help you more precisely.

Hey, thanks for the great tip! My Alhambra, the 2017 model, has about 55500 kilometers on the clock. It's been a while since it was last serviced. I'll have a look to see if it could be the fuse. 52 euros is great, of course, if that's the solution! Thanks again, I'll let you know how it goes.

No problem, always happy to help! With your 55,500 km, it could well be that it's the fuse that's giving up the ghost. It's not a guarantee, but it's at least worth a try before you invest in more expensive diagnostics or repairs. Try the workshop, they'll be able to quickly determine the exact cause. It would be great if you could let them know what the problem was after your visit to the workshop. Good luck and hopefully the problem will be solved quickly!

Yes, I hope so too! Thanks for the helpful advice. I plan to take my Alhambra to the garage tomorrow and hopefully they'll sort it out. I'll keep you posted on what happens. Thanks again for the help!
