Hello, I'm new to the forums. I tried searching for a similar topic, but to no avail.

 

Recently I bought my first car - Škoda Superb Mk II, 2011, 2.0 TDI, 140hp, sedan.

Through the Maxidot settings, I found the option to lock the doors when speed reaches 15 km/h. Great, I checked the two options to set automatic lock and unlock (How does automatic unlock work?). But when driving, there are a few occasions when I need the doors unlocked, for example when I need to pick someone, without opening the driver door (that unlocks the doors), the passenger one (that unlocks the doors), or turning the ignition off and taking out the key (that also unlocks the doors). But I cannot unlock the doors from the button/switch (if that's what it's called).

 

What I tried is:

• clicking the unlock symbol on both the driver and passenger door - both seem to not work/respond;
• double-clicking the unlock symbol;
• holding the unlock symbol for at least 5 seconds;
• clicking the unlock button on the remote;
• holding the unlock button on the remote;
• I even changed the two fuses (the 30A ones regarding the door locking/unlocking, I guess) even though they were fine.

 

I read the manual, but I only found that in order to unlock the doors, I should just click the unlock symbol/button. Well, that's not working, both of them are not working. Do you have any suggestions, tips or ideas on what might be wrong, or I am doing wrong?

I had exactly the same with my Superb when I bought it, and it was just down to the unlock button being faulty. 

 

Replaced it with a new one and it worked fine. 

Problem solved! I wanted to be 100% sure that the buttons were not working before I spend money on new ones and wait for them to arrive.

 

SOLUTION: I removed the buttons from behind the door, carefully took them apart and saw how the button was working. It was bad connection. And by that I mean physical connection and electrical (I guess). Inside the button is this black piece of rubber which when the button is clicked, is being press towards the electrical board. I took a small pencil that I took for free at IKEA, and started rubbing the graphite against the rubber part where the connection is made. I knew I was done the the black rubber had a visible coating. Then assembled everything back together and VOILA! Both buttons worked. £50 saved at the cost of few curse words and about an hour of my time.  

 

I will post pictures for future references, and if someone has the same problem.
