What problems with central locking on the Audi A3?
Years 2003-2013

Answer

On this model of the car of the German house some problems have been found with the central locking that does not unlock the doors or controls only some of them. The causes may be: the first suspect of a failure to open is the remote control for car central locking. In particular, the battery. If this discharges, the signal becomes weak and ends up not being sufficient to act on the car's electronic system. If all else works, changing the battery may be the first step. The electrical connections that carry the central locking signal from the sensor to the various doors are such that, in the event of a power surge, short circuit or other electrical problem, the voltage can blow the fuse.
