Seat Arosa central locking malfunction
Summary of the thread
The central locking system of a 2000 Seat Arosa with a diesel engine stopped functioning, with an error stored in the memory. The issue was suspected to be due to a defective cable or plug connection. A similar problem was resolved by checking the fuses and inspecting the connector block near the door lock mechanism. Ultimately, the problem was fixed at a workshop, confirming it was indeed a faulty connection.

When you say dodgy connection, where exactly was it? I'm not great with cars, but maybe I could have a quick look myself before taking it to a garage.

Yeah, same symptoms. It was a connector block near the door lock mechanism itself. Honestly, unless you're comfortable fiddling with car electrics, I'd just take it to a workshop. You don't want to mess with the security system and make things worse, do you?

Just got it sorted at the workshop. They said it was a dodgy connection like you suspected. Cost me 95€ but at least my Arosa's security system is working again!

Central locking problems on Arosas are a pain, aren't they? Had something similar happen to mine. Have you checked the fuses? It could also be a faulty connection somewhere. Does the remote locking work at all, or is it completely dead?
