Skoda Octavia Central Locking Failure

I'm experiencing an issue with my 2020 Skoda Octavia with a Gasoline engine. The central locking has completely stopped working; doors can no longer be locked or unlocked. There's also an error stored in the error memory. My initial thought, based on the error description, is a defective cable or plug connection. Has anyone encountered something similar with the locking mechanism?

Whoa, that sounds frustrating! Is your key fob still working? I had a similar issue with my Octavia's central locking a while back. Could it be something with the security system?

Interesting. When you say 'similar issue', was it also preventing you from locking or unlocking the doors completely? And did you also have an error stored? Was your keyless entry also affected?

Yep, exactly the same symptoms! Couldn't lock or unlock anything with the key fob, and the keyless entry was dead too. I tried messing with it myself, but honestly, I just ended up taking it to a workshop. Best decision I made. Saved me a lot of headaches!

Took your advice and got it checked out. Turns out it was indeed a defective plug connection, just like the error memory suggested. 95€ later, the central locking is working perfectly again. Thanks for the help!
