steveraine Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Hi Since having a flat battery, only the driver's door will unlock from the remote key fob. If we put the key in the lock, or press the unlock button on the driver's door arm rest, all the doors open. Anyone got any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpellypo Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 What year is it? On the newer ones, the default vag setting is that you have to double press teh button to open all teh doors. You can have this changed, but if the battery has gone totally dead, it could have defaulted back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveraine Posted October 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 drpellypo It is a 02 1.9 Tdi 130 Estate. It seems that something has been reset, as previously on the first press of the button, the driver's door would unlock, and then on the second press the other doors would unlock. Since the flat battery pressing it once opens the driver's door, and then the others only opene when using the button on the driver's arm rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpellypo Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Oh - right - well that's a bit different! Pop it into an indy, see if they can check it with VAG (or there might be a TSN member somewhere near you who can help out!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subzero Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 I had the same on my 2001 Passat , Turned out to be a faulty battery (CAR). i discovered this by hooking the car to another car/battery by jump leads, then the locking worked fine.

meriafel Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Had my 52 Sport 130 TDi Passat VAGCOM'd in the summer. Showed various faults inc airbag which was fixed by buying a new battery to replace the original. Oddly though the old battery still showed the 'green' eye indicating a good battery and a voltage test showed well over 12.5 volts. I still have the battery and although it hasn't been charged for several months it still shows 12.49 volts but the green eye is no longer lit. Don't quite know what that tells us other than VW electronics are too clever by half and we ignore them at our peril. Anyone know if those plug in fault code readers that give either a fault code only or those that plug into a laptop such as those marketed by www.gendan.co.uk are worth having?

pontyslapper Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Good god - I was just about to start a topic on this... On Thursday while in France I stupidly left the fridge we have plugged in overnight without engaging the battery safe feature it has. Result - next morning flat battery, had to open door with key. Now the button to open and lock the doors on the drivers door panel doesn't seem to work, and the button below the seatbelt to deactivate the alarm isn't lit. Am I looking at a blown fuse or a sorting out with a VAGCOM??? Its a bog standard 2004 2.0 20V Estate. If its a fuse, which ones should I check - I had a quick look in France at the book but was being pressured by SWMBO to get to the shops to load up before the ferry on Saturday!!

SteNova Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 which socket did you have the fridge in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pontyslapper Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 One of the ones in the boot - second one in from boot lid I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteNova Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 ahhh... the boot ones are easy to make into switched live, 10mm spanner and move it from the red connection to the yellow one under the dash, or use a caravan split charge auto sencing relay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveraine Posted November 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Has anyone else tried disconnecting the battery, and then re-connecting to solve this issue? Will it cause any other problems, not sure I want to do it if anything else is going to get reset Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
