Hi,

my central locking works correctly from the key fob but when I lock from the interior central consol switch it remains locked. ie the central console switch does not unlock it. I also noticed that pressing unlock when the doors are unlocked also locks them.

Are there any checks that I can make before I replace the switch. I am fairly competant with multimeter etc but do not have a wiring diagram.

Having said that I still like the Octavia and am thinking of a new one when the new model comes out in 2013

Many thanks,

Peter FC

Could be the wire being caught and damaged by the handbrake.

Probably worth checking for damage before you spend on a switch.

Certainly seems like the switch. I wish it was on the door switch cluster like my MK 1 had.

I bought a new switch today £18 and replaced it using the excellent post elsewhere on this site. It was a bit futtery to change but completed sucessfully in an hour. Thanks again to the practical Briskoda members. Many other manufacturers site as not nearly as good.
