Hi, I have a 2018 1.4 TSI Leon ST, Recently the the drivers door was intermittently locking remotely, all other doors unlock and lock fine.
When driving the auto door lock would keep trying to activate.
When using the key in the door everything locks fine.
I changed the drivers door module out for one off amazon but the problem still persists.
Sometimes its fine and other times not. The car doesn't show that its open when you lock it but the interior light will stay ok.
Now when you use the manual lock on the drivers door it deactivates the drives window.
Take the lock off and window looks fine.
So I have changed the module, checked central locking fuse, is there anything else I need to look for as the car looks pretty shabby having the key cover off all the time just in case.

Thanks Geoff
 
In 85% of cases, the solder joints of the microswitches in the door lock are broken. A known problem within the company. I would replace it quickly before it locks but no longer unlocks.
