Mark 4 golf, heated seats and central locking

Wondering if the door lock mechanisms needs greasing
like some form of resistance to movement may put the power locking out of kilter ..

Hi. remove the rear seat and door pad. You can access the lock through a small hole, break the top inner corner of the lock and it will release the dead lock and open the door.

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.

put key in ignition turn key to number 2 lights on dash battery etc. then press the fob. till the doors lock then it is rest.

hi
you need to try a couple of diffrent things with this problem


1- get in drivers seat close doors and lock by hand
,
2- then put key in ignition and turn key till dash lights come on (do not start)

3- while key in ignition unlock doors with fob ,

4 - then lock again with fob while key in ignition.

5- then remove key exit car try locking doors from out side this should reset all your door locks

unlock with key and hold key over for 30 secs(windows may go down)then lock with key and hold over for 30 secs(windows may go up)then press remote unlock button and hold for 30 secs,you have just reset system...the closer you have to get to the car for the remote to work the lower the battery power.sensor on top of dash(little black dimple)rarely,if at all, goes wrong.....

could be a faulty door lock.have the fault codes read with a diagnostic machine.

sounds like control module for central locking and or security system mal function

How I fixed the central locking seat ibiza 2001

Any chance the batteries are dead in both of them? There's a little light on your key fob. Try locking/unlocking and watch the light (it's red) if it's dim or not lighting up then your battery (inside your key fob) is dead. They take CR2032 watch batteries.
