it could be a bad body control module.

your battery is probably dead. Take the remote to Orielly auto parts and they have a tester that will tell you if the battery is dead. If the other buttons work on the remote then the remote itself is the problem and will need rplaced.

may be needed reprogramming the remote control

i would first look in the main wire harness unbdere the dash on the drivers side it leads into the door also there is a harness that leads up the steering column to your dimmer/turnsignal module in the steering column. if your door locks stop working it colud be the master switch control in the drivers door this is whjere i would look for the short

The passenger door control module might be bad. The window switches are built into the module.

On my jetta, if you don't lock the doors with the remote then all doors lock except the drivers door. try this
1. closing all doors walk around to the passenger door.
2.open the door, using the button on the passenger door, lock the doors.

I had this happen to me on my jetta and found you could lock all the doors if you did'nt use the drivers door or you locked using the remote. They did this to keep the driver from locking the keys in the car. I hope this worked for you

Check the fuses first. If that dont work take the door apart the wiers have problably lost the connection due to kids and chocolate.
Gotta love them tho.
