Mini Clubman door lock issue

Ugh, my 2023 Mini Clubman is giving me grief! It's got about km on it, and now the driver's side door won't lock or unlock anymore. I'm guessing it's a faulty door contact signal. So, the car alarm is basically useless, and the automatic locks don't work on that door. Any ideas?

Oh man, that sounds frustrating! I had a similar issue with my old Opel Astra a few years ago. The automatic locks went haywire, and the car alarm kept going off out of nowhere. Have you checked the door sensor? Maybe that's the culprit. Is it only one of your vehicle doors affected?

Door sensor sounds interesting! Where exactly is that located, and is it something I could check myself? Also, yes it is happening on the drivers side door.

Yeah, the door latch usually has the sensor built into it. On my Astra, it ended up being a corroded plug. Honestly, unless you're comfortable poking around with a multimeter, I'd suggest taking it to a workshop. Could save you a bigger headache down the road!

Just wanted to let you know that the workshop confirmed it was a faulty cable connection in the door. They fixed it for 95€. Thanks a bunch for your help!
