Car door will not open. vw 1.8 1999 passat

The system is not connected. Open door panels and connect or adjust the connect rods

This worked for me on 2008 Mk5 Golf, after the rear passenger door would not open fro outside or inside.

Hold the inside door latch open and keep it extended, then with the key fob open and close the door locks (still holding the inside latch open). Keep locking and unlocking the door, then it made a kluck and it released.

there is a plastic clip that hold a rod in place that is attached to the lock might be damage look behind door panel at the lock itself.
or might be a bad actuator.

The safety lock lever is normally by the door lock assembly, Open the rear doors and look at the lock on the inner face of the door, there should be a small lever evident, just click into next position

sounds like the rear door sensor is kaput.all doors need to be shut before alarm will stabilise/you can leave the car open as if you dont have the key(with the correct code)the car is dead/immobilised.not even hot wiring will start car....

the road salt locks up the hinges take the door panel off and w d 40 the hinges and joints

fuses are usually in the glove box or under the drivers dash or under the drivers side hood either physically inspect every fuse by pulling them one by one or the aid of a test light and a good ground to the test light

check under seat, there are 3 sets of wires, they could be coroded, these wires run all the windows door, any thing that is for useing the power, i know just had it fixed 245, 00 later,,

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

If this car has child safety locks on the rear doors, open the door from the OUTSIDE locate the switch on the door frame and place it in the DOWN position. That should take care of it.
