Hi all, after a long hiatus! (Haven't had a Skoda in the family since 2016 unfortunately)

 

My mother in law, on the other hand, has a 2015, low mileage Citigo. One of the rear doors has decided not to lock itself when the central locking is set. On a higher mileage car, especially if it was the driver's door, I might consider a broken wire between the body and the door, but it seems unlikely with a car with less than 30 000 miles on it?

 

Has anyone else seen this and if so how did you fix it?

 

thanks,

 

Martin

I think for any car, the diagnosis would be similar....

1) do the doors have individual fuses? If so check them.

2) when operating the central locking, does the bad door make any internal sound? If not, then it is either the solenoid (kind of the motor) or power to the solenoid (like maybe a wire off or corroded connector somewhere, or a bad earth). If there _is_  a clunk there could be mechanical issue with solenoid or linkages to the lock....

 

It will all be a nuisance finding it :(  but not too costly for parts if needed
