karlosthejackal Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Can't help with solving the problem, but my old 1998 passat used to do this , but it was the rear door on the drivers side. If I continued pressing the lock button, after several attempts it would eventually lock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comusat Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 I've heard of a similar problem on the Ford Focus, although on the Ford all the doors open if you are using the remote locking. I think it was something to do with dirt in the locks. I think what happens is that when you press the button down, all of the doors try to lock, but the passenger one is having problems, so pops back open again. Does this happen when you use the remote locking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vcastone Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Newbie here. Here's a late reply to this 2005 question. I have this problem. To get round this I press the lock, unlock and lock button again in very quick succession - as fast as I can. Works every time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilelvis2000 Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 I've got the same problem, key fob works fine - even the lights flash (usually). But from inside it does not always lock from the driver's button. When it does lock, unlocking does not always pop it either. though it does unlock from using the door latch from the inside. My feeling is that this is a bad lock module and needs replacing. Anyone have part numbers for a 1998 B5 passat for these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocrp Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Your feeling is probably correct. Have a look here and at this write-up and this web page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lilelvis2000 Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 Thanks, I would have a tough time with those "star" bolts. The soldering I can handle. If there is good independant in East Lancs who can do this I'd rather they take it apart and put it back together. Any ideas anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
