Volt Central Locking Failure

Hey, I'm having an odd issue with my 2016 Chevrolet Volt hybrid. The central locking has completely stopped working. I can't lock or unlock the doors using the key fob or the door buttons. I scanned for codes and there's an error stored related to the door locks. Could a defective cable or plug connection really cause this?

Summary of the thread

A 2016 Chevrolet Volt hybrid experienced a central locking failure, where neither the key fob nor door buttons could lock or unlock the doors. The issue was traced to a stored error code related to the door locks. A possible cause was identified as a defective cable or plug connection. After consulting a mechanic, the problem was resolved by cleaning a corroded connector, restoring the central locking functionality.

Strange, I had a similar problem with my old Peugeot. The central locking went haywire. Key fob wouldn't work, the alarm would randomly go off. Have you checked the fuses?

Thanks for the tip! Which fuse exactly did you have to check on your Peugeot? Was it just a blown fuse or something more complicated?

On mine, it was the fuse specifically for the central locking system. But honestly, even after replacing it, the issue came back. Eventually, I just took it to a workshop; electrical gremlins are the worst. They quoted me 95€ for the fix, which turned out to be a corroded connector.

I took your advice and went to a local mechanic. They found a corroded connector, just like you said! They cleaned it up and everything's working perfectly now. Thanks for the help!
