Relay for door locks

Did you hook up a professional grade scan tool an check BCM codes ,view live input data for power locks .
Door Lock System Components
The power door lock system consists of the following components:
• Driver door lock switch--Provides a switched voltage signal to the body control module (BCM) for both lock and unlock switch activations.
• Front passenger door lock switch--Provides a switched voltage signal to the BCM for both lock and unlock switch activations.
• Door lock relay--Located in the instrument panel (I/P) fuse block and controls the locking of all doors and liftgate.
• Door unlock relay--Located in the I/P fuse block and controls the unlocking of the passenger doors and liftgate.
• Driver door unlock relay--Located in the I/P fuse block and controls the unlocking of the driver door.
• BCM--Class 2 module which requires programming when replaced
• Reversible door lock actuators in each of the doors
• LOCK/MIRROR 10 A fuse--Located in the I/P fuse block, supplies power for the door lock switches and relays.
• DR LCK 20 A fuse--Located in the I/P fuse block, supplies power to the relays.

The relays in the I/P fuse box are not listed because you can't change them so why show then . They are PCB - relays Printed circuit board relays , soldered directly to the circuit board inside the fuse box.

You best bet ,take it to a qualified repair shop. I would say the vehicle has a lose connection somewhere . Ground ,


My bet is that it is a relay or the body control module. ??? Then you would be wrong Take it to a professional before you start replacing parts it doesn't need .

you have a grounding short. check all fuses and relays and then check all wiring. i know its a pain in the rear but sounds like a wire it shrorting out and causing that

The rear hatch locking is computer contolled .
The BCM also runs diagnostics on the liftgate lock relay control circuit and will set DTC B3825 as current and also send a Class 2 message to the DIC. The DIC will display REPLACE LIFTGATE FUSE to inform the driver that a fault has been detected in the liftgate lock circuit and that the liftgate is not locked. Faults that will set the DTC and cause the DIC to display the message could be any of the following:
• An open ECC fuse
• An open or short to ground in the liftgate lock relay battery positive voltage circuit
• A faulty liftgate lock relay
• An open or short to ground in the liftgate lock relay control circuit
• A short to ground in the liftgate lock actuator lock control circuit
• A faulty BCM

The liftgate lock relay supply and coil sides receive a constant voltage through the battery voltage supply circuit and the ECC fuse. The normally closed contact is connected to ground and the control side is connected to the body control module (BCM). A lock function will occur when a door lock switch activation, keyless entry lock transmission, auto door lock function or a liftgate lock function has been received by the BCM. The BCM will then ground the control side of the liftgate lock relay. This energizes the relay and allows voltage to be applied to the liftgate lock actuator lock control circuit. Since the other side of the liftgate lock actuator is connected to the normally closed contacts of the door unlock relay to ground, the liftgate will lock. When an unlock function occurs the BCM will ground the control side of the unlock relay and the rear doors and liftgate will unlock.
The power door lock system consists of the following components:
• The driver door module (DDM)
• The passenger door module (PDM)
• The body control module (BCM)
• The driver information center (DIC)
• The rear door lock switch
• The door lock relay
• The door unlock relay
• The liftgate lock relay--utility vehicles with liftgate only
• The reversible door lock actuators in each of the doors and liftgate
• LOCKS 20A fuse (rear lock/unlock relay supply voltage)
• ECC 10A fuse (liftgate lock relay supply voltage)

If i were to guess i would say you mite need a new lock actuator , but i don't guess . You could take the hatch inside panel off an check for B+ voltage for the lock actuation as someone pushes the switch . Or have it checked for codes .

Here is how it works !
Liftgate Locking Operation
The lift gate will lock any time the vehicle is shifted out of park on vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission and at vehicle speeds exceeding 5 kph with manual transmission. This happens in conjunction with auto door locks if enabled or independently of auto door locks if the feature is disabled. This ensures that the lift gate is locked anytime the vehicle is shifted out of park or when the vehicle is in motion.
The lift gate lock relay supply and coil sides receive a constant voltage through the battery voltage supply circuit and the ECC fuse. The normally closed contact is connected to ground and the control side is connected to the body control module (BCM). A lock function will occur when a door lock switch activation, keyless entry lock transmission, auto door lock function or a lift gate lock function has been received by the BCM. The BCM will then ground the control side of the lift gate lock relay. This energizes the relay and allows voltage to be applied to the lift gate lock actuator lock control circuit. Since the other side of the lift gate lock actuator is connected to the normally closed contacts of the door unlock relay to ground, the lift gate will lock. When an unlock function occurs the BCM will ground the control side of the unlock relay and the rear doors and lift gate will unlock.

dead short in the relay

well if you have a short that would blow a fuse a battery drain is caused by something not shutting off. now the test light theroy dont work on a vw because it takes about 30 minutes for the convience control module to shut down . after shuting car off lock doors with remote and watch dash to see if it shuts down if it does check your radio front to see if its warm if it is you could have a radio thats not shuttinr down your amp

You shorted something out. Check all fuses and relays. I think you blew a relay not a fuse.

Aux Relay Box #4 is in the rear driver's side removable panel with the tire jack.

This Relay box holds the Door Lock / Unlock relays (ice cube type). It also holds the Driver Door Unlock Relay and the ACC Lights Relay (rectangular relays).

There are some door lock relays in your fuse box. I think it's relay A, shown in the diagram below. Not sure how it's marked in the fuse box. You could test the socket by shorting terminals to see if the doors will lock. First, make sure the command signal is getting to the relay socket by using a test light.

Please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r6022358-relay_check and let me know if you have questions.

Or, you can try switching the relay with a similar one to see if that fixes it--then you know it was the relay that you need to replace.

Check fuses 5 and 8. replace both with 15 amp mini fuses, this should work for you. worked for me!!
