Mini Roadster Door Lock Issue

I'm pulling my hair out! The door on my 2014 Mini Roadster diesel won't lock or unlock. I suspect a faulty door contact signal, since the automatic locks are going haywire. Think it's a bad door sensor?

Sounds like the door sensor. I had a similar issue with the automatic locks on my Mini Cooper. Is the car sensor even detecting the door opening and closing?

When your door switch went bad, did you also have trouble with the automatic locks? Or was it just the door ajar light?

Yep, the auto locks were the first sign something was up. Then the door ajar light started acting strange. I'd say get it checked out; probably a defective door switch. The CAN bus system is complicated, and these intermittent electrical issues can be super annoying to diagnose yourself. Better to let a workshop handle it.

Just wanted to update that the dealer confirmed it's a faulty door sensor, specifically an electrical issue with the cable or plug. They quoted 95€ to fix it, which seems reasonable. Thanks for the input!
