Xsara central locking failure

Hi, I'm having a strange issue with my 2004 Citroen Xsara diesel. The central locking has completely stopped working. Neither door can be locked or unlocked using the remote or the key. I've scanned the car and there's an error stored in the memory, but I suspect it's related. I've checked the fuse box and all the relevant fuses seem fine. I suspect a defective cable or plug connection. Has anyone experienced this before?

I had something similar happen with my Xsara. Drove me nuts! Have you checked the wiring loom where it goes into the door? It's a common spot for breaks.

Thanks for the tip! Which door was it on yours? And was it a complete failure, or just intermittent?

It was the driver's door on mine. Complete failure, just like you described. Honestly, after fiddling with it for hours, I just gave up and took it to a workshop. Best money I ever spent.

Appreciate the insight! I'll have a look at the wiring loom, but sounds like a trip to the workshop is inevitable. Got it fixed for 95€. Thanks again!
