Water ingress into the convenience ECU or wiring connectors to the door, seems to be quiet a common issue on the MK1 Octavia. The door controller electronics are situated within the drivers door.

That is probably the dreaded door lock microswitch - there is a sticky about this at top of octy 1 page.
