Front passenger door central locking not working.
Posted: Thu Aug 20, 2020 8:04 pm
The central locking in the front passenger door of my 2006 polo has recently become very temperamental and now very rarely works.
I don't have remote keys, so the central locking should be activated from the driver's door. The central locking of all other doors works and the courtesy light comes on when I open the driver's door so I don't think it is anything to do with the driver's door or controls. As the central locking on the rest of the doors works fine, I don't think it is to do with how the central locking is controlled either.
I am still able to lock or unlock the passenger door using either the key from the outside or by pushing down the button (the thing which goes up or down when the door is locked) or opening the handle on the inside.
I feel that the issue is likely in the door lock module in the front passenger door, maybe a microswitch or the motor has gone ? Or that a wire from the passenger door lock to somewhere may be damaged ?
I don't want to have to take the door panel apart and get past the window and everything to get the door lock module out if it isn't necessary so I was wondering what thoughts people had on what might be the issue and how I can go about fixing this.
Thanks.
