Left key in ignition and battery dead - 2012 Volkswagen Passat TDI SE Sedan 2.0L 4-cyl. Turbodiesel 6-speed Manual

Check the battery... sounds like its dead.

Did you try jump starting the vehicle?

If you left the key on all the accessory functions where on and this will cause the battery to go dead overnight. Jump starting to see if the vehicle will start is a good way to determine if the battery did go dead. Depending on how old the battery is it may have gone bad by letting it go dead overnight. If its more than a few years old it may not be a bad idea to just replace it.

Most likely a bad battery or battery terminal connection.

The electrical servo steering its dead.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting fixya.com.

The key lock/unlock for doors are powered by the batteries in the remote, while the ignition key draws its energy from the vehicle via induction. Since the battery is dead you are having this problem. You need to call assistance from the nearby auto shop or a locksmith. I guess you don't have any other option.

Yes. It has to have power to the ignition switch to be able to get the key out. Replace the batttery.

I have had the same problem with my daughter's car. She inadvertnetly left the key in the on position and the battery went dead. Apparently an electrical current is neded to withdraw the key. I put a battery charger on the car for several hours and everything worked fine after that.

Just get a jump, then if the car doesn't start then you'll know to program the computer, I my self haven't heard about this.

try checking the main relay under the dash

Try this: Unhook the battery. Reconnect the battery. When the horn starts to beep, cycle the ignition key in the ignition on-off 5 times. This resets the alarm; the cycling of the key. Please advise me if this works for you.
