Peugeot 807 keyless access failure

Interesting! So, it was the door actuator itself? Did you experience the exact same symptoms – keyless entry kaput and an error code? How did you pinpoint the actuator as the culprit and not just some random wiring issue?

Well, in my case, the central locking stopped responding intermittently first, and then completely failed. The error code pointed to a problem with the door electronics. Because of the intermittent nature and the fact that all doors were affected I initially suspected the Body Control Module (BCM), but after checking the fuses and wiring to each door, the mechanic concluded it was the door actuator. Since your keyless entry is out completely and you have a stored error, I would suggest checking the plug and wiring. It could be a corroded connection, but if not, you may need to visit a workshop.

Thanks for the input! I took your advice and checked the plug and wiring - nothing obvious. Bit the bullet and took it to the shop. Turns out it WAS a faulty door actuator cable. Cost me 95€ to get it sorted. Appreciate the help!

Sounds familiar. I've got a Peugeot 807 as well, and something similar happened to mine last year. The door actuator, which is the electric motor and mechanism that locks and unlocks the door, went haywire. Was driving me nuts!
