Panda central locking failure
Summary of the thread
The central locking system on a 2016 Fiat Panda failed, affecting all doors simultaneously. The initial suspicion was a faulty door contact signal. However, since all doors were impacted, it indicated a more general electrical fault. The issue was diagnosed as a defective cable or plug connection, which was resolved at a workshop.

It's affecting all doors at the same time. Does that change the diagnosis, or should I look for a more general electrical fault?

Since all doors are affected, it's probably not a single switch. With my Corsa, it was a corroded plug causing a general failure. I'd get it checked at a workshop to be sure. Probably cheaper than DIY and failing.

Took it to a workshop, and you were right – a defective cable/plug connection. Repair cost me 95€. Thanks!

I had a similar problem with my old Opel Corsa. Is it all doors at once, or just one? If it's just one, the contact switch might be faulty.
