if none of the doors are genuinely open, then it'll be the sensor in the door (hinge side, black rubber thing.

does it stop car from strting? if not I'd ignore til mot due

When you say won't lock is it locking then instantly unlocking straight after ? Or just not doing anything from the fob ? Does it have a key hole on drivers door ?

If a sensor is down then the bcm on some cars won't allow it to fully lock

Open all doors then close them again including boot and bonnet, if it's still saying a doors open then a sensor is likelt down

I'd check those sensors too ..if it doesn't lock i don't think she'll ignore it

Check the sensors as mentioned or look at the boot latch, wd40 might be needed

Try this

On some dash light it'll indicate which side…

Being a dacia it will be the sensor on the drivers door midway down the door pillar below windscreen level. Push it in with your finger and see if the light goes off with all the other doors shut.

If not remove the screw holding it in and disconnected it until you get a sensor/switch.

Car will then lock and unlock as normal
