Please help! My key Fob will lock all the doors on my 2006 VW Passat. It will only lock three of the doors and leave the passenger side unlocked...When I manually lock the passenger side door...it won't lock either. So I assume it's the door lock sensor than needs to be replaced. Is this hard to fix yourself, or I should send to a shop for replacement or repair? I noticed the problem when the chirp doesn't happen when I push the lock button on my key fob...Please guide me in the right direction. Thanks!

Your key fob might need a new battery.Check this link out. Programming VW Golf Passat Cabrio key fobs in VW

The control unit (comfort system central control module) that opens the doors from the fob signal is usually under the dash on the driver's side. You cam see it on page 7 or so of the diagrams at http://www.revbase.com/BBBMotor/Wd/DownloadPdf?id=132991

Since the other fob features are working, it might be that the module just doesn't recognize the signal the fob is sending.
Or maybe the fob is not sending a signal at all. Very hard to troubleshoot, but you can check to see if the control module is sending voltage to the locks by probing the connectors on the module.

the alarm is not operating because the door isnt locking ,to locate the fault you will need to remove the door panel anbd have a look ,it may just need a good squirt of engine oil in a proper oil can ,no spray as it dries out too quick

I'm thinking ask google or utube

I have this on a Passat 1998 model and it's frustrating, im at the point where all 4 doors wont unlock and the 2 front ones work with the key but need to be closed with the key again.The boot opens and closes with the remote.I removed and cleaned all four door barrels when they opened intermitently and under the passenger side footwell is the ecu for the windows&alarm which i removed and cleaned as well as soldered 2 dry joints.If i activate the fob i hear the relay in the ecu click and double click to lock and the boot lock works which indicates the electrics are ok.Doing a google there are 1000sssds of queries with passat/vw door lock problems and the main cause is dry solder joints in the door lock mechanisms in the door.I found out from the main dealer when replacing my bootlock(the old one was damaged in a theft attempt) that a new modified part was available and the same for door locks????leading me to believe this is a widespread problem.The only thing is to remove the door parts and inspect the catch and circut board for dry joints.This link may help you. http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1542461 copy and paste this into your browser or google the website if you dont know how.

My 1998 passat done the same, try remove the drivers side window/childlock control on the armrest and clean the multipoint switch as that got my drivers side door opening/closing on the fob as well as the passenger rear door unlocking and working again as it was deadbolted and would not open inside or out.

hi my central locking on my vw transporter van has stopped working and my key fob is fine i cannot open my passenger door so therefore cant put petrol in. what do you think the problem is?

On the driver's side door handle, there is a cap covering the key hole on the right side. On the bottom of the cap is a small ****. Use the valet key to pry it up and off. Then you may open the door, most likely sounding the alarm, so you will need to insert the remote in the ignition to stop the NOISE!!!! Hope this helps. This is how I lock my remote away when I go somewhere to run.

If this happen to others check with VW to is if there is a recall on it. You can also check on the Web to see if there is a recall on it. If there is VW will fix it free.

A VW dealership can change the programming for you with a VAG-COM device.
