Hi Everyone,

I had a look through the forum already but couldn't spot any posts which matched the exact issue I have. If I am wrong and someone could point me to a post that would be great! :-)

The car is a 2007 V1.2 Polo SE, has around 50K miles on the clock and I have owed it for 3 years plus. It came from the factory with key operated central locking and it’s a five door. Up until 2 weeks ago life was good. From either the passenger or driver’s door I could lock/unlock all doors and the boot. The problem is the driver’s side, when the key is entered it only unlocks the driver’s door. If I use the passenger door all doors and the boot unlock and lock from the key. When I lock the Drivers door it only locks the driver’s door and it doesn't activate the little red security light either, the one which is beside the pop up/down button when you lock/unlock the car. When locking from the passenger side this LED comes on and blinks/flashes as normal.

Interestingly the push button/switch on the driver’s door can unlock and lock the whole car suggesting some of electrical cables from the driver’s door into the car appear to be OK. Another point of interest is the front electric windows have also stopped working at exactly the same time. Whether I use the single switch on the passenger door or either of the dual switches on the driver’s door I can't get the windows to go up/down. The rear windows are mechanical/wind-up. As I mentioned for the last two weeks it has not worked, I thought initially a fuse had blown but it all sprang to life for a day before failing suggesting a loose connection or water ingress and not a blown fuse.

Any ideas on where to start before I pull the car apart? :-)

Thanks very much in advance for any input offered.

Best regards

Alan
