Yes, thank you
I have a Pilote 650 based on a fiat ducato and last week the offside central locking stopped working, I changed all the batteries in key fobs and yesterday the nearside stopped working, I know the fobs are working as the indicator lights flash and the alarm sets when I press the key fob and the fuses look okay, Could it just be the cold freezing up the mechanisms or a bit of condensation is on the motor? Any idea where to start without stripping off the door covers?
 
If you have an A class then open the door and push the locking mechanism right over (with door open) then try locking. If it engages correctly then you need to adjust the U bolt on the door frame.

I have the Pilote G600. The central locking stopped working on the hab door. (There are only 2 doors) There are a set of “studs” on the hinge side which make the contacts when the door is closed. These were easy to remove and I found a broken wire behind one which was the problem.
It was an easy fix but the not much spare wire to work with, small parts and clumsy fingers.
Problem solved.
Doesn’t explain of course why you had multiple doors stop working.
