Yesterday I managed to short out the 12v socket in centre console. Some keys had found their way in the socket and I didn't notice as I tried to plug in the connector for my dash cam. There were sparks. It didn't blow the connector fuse nor did it blow fuse number 40 under the dash (12v power outlets). I now have a number of error messages as shown below. Does anyone have any ideas where to start please?
Auto Hold is unavailable
Error: driver door contact switch
Fault: electronic parking brake
Error: start/stop
Thanks!
Error messages - random?

An update. Took the car to a local workshop for a quick look see. Apparently there is a common fault with either the door module or a broken wire in the door and it's likely that the shorting incident is not the cause of these faults and this is purely coincidental.
On closer inspection, the drivers door is completely dead: the window and mirror switches don't work, the switches do not illuminate, the indicator doesn't flash on the mirror when indicating right, the courtesy light doesn't illuminate when the door is opened and more alarmingly, the drivers door does not lock. The mechanic is confident the fault is somewhere in the door and it is booked in on Monday for a more detailed examination and hopefully a fix.
Because the car is unable to detect the door status (i.e. open/closed) then the systems below are disabled and throw up an error message. Will update after Mondays visit.

I would have thought Skoda might have learnt the error of their ways by now. Failure of door electrics cable is a common fault on the Yeti.
