Skoda Octavia Keyless Entry Problem

I have a 2020 Skoda Octavia with a gasoline engine. The keyless access system has stopped working. Diagnostic routines show an error, and it suggests a defective cable or plug connection within the door. Has anyone encountered a similar sensor issue, potentially indicative of a wiring fault within the car door's locking system?

I had something similar with my Octavia. Keyless entry just stopped working. Did you check the wiring harness where it enters the car door?

You mention checking the wiring harness. Could you elaborate on the specific location I should be inspecting and what I should be looking for?

Yes, I recall the mechanic mentioning it was a common issue with the door mechanism. He pointed out a chafed wire inside the car door where the wiring loom bends when opening and closing the car door. If you aren't comfortable doing electric work I would strongly recommend going to the workshop.

Following the recommendation, I booked an appointment at the workshop. They confirmed the defective plug connection on the door mechanism. Repair was completed within the hour and the keyless access is now functioning as expected. Total cost amounted to 95€, as anticipated. Thank you for your assistance.
