Seat Cordoba keyless entry malfunction

I'm having a frustrating issue with my 2003 Seat Cordoba with a gasoline engine The keyless entry has stopped working I've scanned the car and it's showing an error in the error memory related to the door electronics The mechanic reckons it's probably a faulty cable or plug connection Does anyone have experience with this Is it a common problem with these cars The car only has 56717 km on it It's like a light switch that suddenly stops working you know Could it be a door switch or some other sensor issue I am trying to avoid expensive troubleshooting

The symptoms you describe certainly point towards a fault in the door electronics Given the error memory and the keyless access malfunction the 'likely cause' assessment is plausible A defective cable or plug connection for the door switch or related sensor is a common issue Have you inspected the door wiring harness for any obvious signs of damage or corrosion

Thanks for the quick reply I haven't actually checked the wiring myself Honestly I wouldn't even know where to start Is it easy to get to the wiring harness in the door And what exactly am I looking for I mean how would I know if a connection is 'defective' Is there a way to test the door switch

Based on your description it's highly probable that the issue lies within the door electronics wiring perhaps related to a door switch Given your lack of experience in electrical diagnostics I recommend taking the vehicle to a qualified workshop Attempting to diagnose this issue without the proper tools and knowledge could potentially worsen the problem The estimated repair cost of 95€ seems reasonable for addressing a wiring fault or replacing a connector It is always best to have a professional inspect the car door

Fantastic news I took your advice and went to the workshop Turns out it was as you suspected a faulty connection in the door electronics They replaced the plug cleared the error memory and now the keyless entry is working perfectly again The bill came to 95€ Thanks so much for your help You really saved me a lot of unnecessary worry
