I will check for any damage to the brown earth-cable in a coming day when it stops raining. On my initial inspection I couldn't see any damage on any cable in the door as far as I could see. Still I might have missed it and will check one more time. I checked the power between 2 slots on opposite corners on the female connector and they had current( might not be proper way to say it, I'm swedish ) would these be the slots that the red/yellow and red/brown cables lead to? Before the central locking on the drivers door stopped working I would have this funny thing happen when I pressed the "lock all doors"-button on the inside of the drivers door. All doors would lock but then the drivers door lockpin would pop back up again. Would this indicate a control unit that was on it's way out? thank you for your help rwbaldwin.

Thank you for your quick reply! I'm sorry for sounding like a bit of a newbie.. beucause I am. What unit is the lock-unit? if there was a problem with the brown cable coming from the lock-unit, would this also affect the driverside rearview-mirror? When I lock the car using my remote key then the LED is flashing, showing that the alarm is activated. But the driversdoor still remains unlocked.. The "control unit" is the part that you can "clip" off right? that holds the male-connector? //Fischer

Hey guys. I just signed up to this forum because it seems like the best place o nthe web for a skoda owner. @darrylg - Wanna thank you for the great guide and I think it's awesome that you took the time to make it. My central-locking stopped working as well recently. Here's my symptoms: Before the central locking stopped working, whenever I pressed the "lock all door"-button on the inside of the drivers door. all doors would lock but the drivers doors lock would pop back up again. I accepted this problem and lived with it. But now the central locking in the front drivers door stopped working completely. When I press lock on my key all doors will lock except the drivers door, the alarm is activated as well. if I use my key and turn the lock then the drivers door will lock. When I press the "lock all doors"-button on the inside of the door then all doors will lock, except the drivers door. The driver-side heated mirror no longer responds when using the knob in L+R mode. When I lock the drivers door using the key then only the drivers door will lock, the rest of the car is still unlocked and the alarm is not activated. I removed the door card and it looks brand new inside, no corrosion on either the male or female connector, no broken wires. checked where the wires trave lfrom the a-pillar to the door, no broken wires. Anyone have a clue what's going on? it has the exact same symptoms as described by darrylg but no corrosion or damage. cheers //Fischer
