Hi there:
If the driver side doors are the only ones that unlock when you press the power lock button, then it’s more than likely that you have a damaged main power lock control module or electrical relay to the passenger side doors that’s causing this issue. However, to be certain that you get the right repairs completed on your Volkswagen, you might want to have a professional mechanic complete a power door locks are not working inspection first.
How to Identify and Fix Common car Problems ?
Our sources include academic articles, blog posts, and personal essays from experienced mechanics :
While there are many different things that can cause your power door locks to fail, the most common causes are: A bad door lock actuator/door lock solenoid. A bad door lock switch. A bad key fob (remote)
A problem with one lock is probably due to the lock actuator or another malfunction inside the mechanism of the door itself. But if none of the power locks work, check the fuse box in your vehicle. A blown fuse can cause the power locks to stop working.
If only one door isn`t working, there`s likely a problem with a door switch or sensor. If this is the case, you`ll need to have a mechanic take a look at your car. If all of your doors don`t open, you could have a blown fuse.
The key fob battery is dead: This is one of the most common reasons why your car door lock is not working. If your locks aren`t working, replacing the battery in the key fob could solve the issue. The key fob is faulty: If the battery isn`t the problem, the issue may be with the fob itself.
Five of the most common reasons for a car door lock not working properly are a dead battery in the key fob, bad programming in the fob, a blown fuse, a bad solenoid or a broken wire.
Factors like the weather, damage to the key, and even a buildup of dirt and grime inside the locking mechanism can all stop a door from locking. If you`re having trouble locking your front door on a regular basis, you should consult a locksmith as soon as possible.
Power door locks use electric motors to engage and disengage the door locks on your car. Owners can control their door locks via door- or console-mounted switches or buttons or remotely by a key fob or smartphone app.
Car door locks may stop working because of a weak battery or faulty alarm.
Try rebooting the door lock by removing the batteries. Removing the batteries will force the device to reset. Then, check the security panel (or control panel) to make sure that the door lock is appearing on the list of connected devices. If it is not appearing, reconnect it.
A door lock relay can be located in four different places on a vehicle, including: Under the dash on the wall by the brake pedal. Under the dash in the middle of the cab behind the stereo. Under the dash behind the passenger air bag.
Fuse lockouts and blockouts are highly visible devices that feature a unique locking mechanism that prevents the device from being accidentally removed from a fuse block. They will help you comply with OSHA`s lockout tagout standard.
The solenoid lock denotes a latch for electrical locking and unlocking. It is available in unlocking in the power-on mode type, and locking and keeping in the power-on mode type, which can be used selectively for situations. The power-on unlocking type enables unlocking only while the solenoid is powered on.
Behind the passenger airbag under the dashboard.
The central locking system enables you to lock and unlock all the doors, the tailgate and tank flap from one central point: From outside the vehicle with the vehicle key .
Most door lock actuators are integrated into a door latch assembly, and you`ll find one at each door that has a power lock. Some lock actuators are separate from the latch, and they tend to be less expensive.
The system or actuator filter is blocked or clogged. The actuator ports are plugged with contaminants. The speed controls are closed. There is too much condensation.
If it`s possible to lock out the actuator electrically so there is no current, it may be possible to perform the repairs on-site. For example, if you need a new motor or contactor, a technician will often be able to replace the parts without shutting down the whole line.
AUTOMATIC LOCK MECHANISM Roller Lock Insertion Mechanism The locking mechanism is internally applied to a double reinforced bottom. It consists of 2 locks so that when the roll closes a special plate activates the locks right and left by automatically securing the roll to the locking nests in the guides.
Locking systems provide access control
The same applies to electronic locking systems. Here too, the user needs just one chip key or proximity locking device to unlock all the doors he/she is authorized to use. These authorizations can be managed flexibly and modified as required.
Locking your Volkswagen without having to use the key is just as easy. Located on the door handle you should notice a small dimple. Just press it to lock the vehicle using Volkswagen Keyless Access.
When the alternator fails, other systems that are connected to it may also start to malfunction. These include things like power windows, locks, lights, air conditioning, and even your radio.
A weak battery can affect almost any electrical component in your car, including the charging system. It`ll result in dimmer headlights and trouble when starting up the vehicle. Weak batteries can also affect your starter motor and alternator.
Most keyless locks require premium alkaline batteries or lithium batteries of a specific voltage. Both Schlage Smart WiFi Deadbolt locks and Nest Yale Locks, for example, need four AA alkaline batteries.

all doors lock only by inserting key in passenger side door and locking
ANSWER : Your central locking system may have been designed with a control module in the circuit. This is a small computer that is responsible for controlling the different functions of a particular system. It is possible that the module for your central locking system may have shorted out internally preventing particular functions from working properly. I would recommend having a certified technician test your central locking module to determine if all of its functions are working properly.

ANSWER : This is often related to a malfunctioning door lock actuator, a blown fuse or a faulty power door lock switch. When you use the door lock switch in the car it sends a signal to a relay which then activates an actuator inside the door. The actuator is the final step in the process in that it is a small motor with a set of gears that actually locks and unlocks the latch mechanism inside the door allowing the door to open. When this motor is bad, the latch mechanism will fail to operate and cause the door not to unlock as it is designed to. In the case of a bad door lock relay, the power, normally needed to send the signal from the switch when you activate it to the actuator motor is not there. This means the relay is not allowing the circuit to be completed and the actuator motor is not activated. Any of the above may cause your power door lock switches not to work properly and should be diagnosed by a qualified mechanic. I would suggest having a professional from YourMechanic come to your location to take a look at the door locks in your vehicle.
Driver and Passenger doors won’t lock, but I hear them click and see the locks twitch.
ANSWER : If the same problem is happening even when you use the inside door lock switch then the most likely cause of the locks not moving is going to be weak actuators. You should replace the drivers lock actuator first since it is used the most and you will see it fixes the problem. Then you can replace the other doors as needed.
Driver side door lock button not working, and passenger side sliding door makes a buzzing noise
ANSWER : Hi there. These door issues are common on this vehicle. Most of the time the main issue is the master door lock switch on the driver door. It sounds like you already replaced that. As for the sliding door problem, most of the time, this is a failure within the door module or it can be a connection issue.
I typically take the door apart and check the connections on the module and inside of the door just to make sure that there is nothing apparent in there. If the connections and the wiring are fine, then I use a scan tool to check the module to see what the inputs and outputs are doing. If you need to have this looked at, consider YourMechanic, as a certified mechanic can come to your home or office to diagnose your door problem and recommend a repair.
Doors wont lock or unlock with fob or switch?
ANSWER : Hello. Further testing should be done to help solve your problem. Being that the door unlock reprogramming procedure has already been done and the fuses have been checked there’s not much left it could be. When you hit the unlock button you should hear a little noise in each of the doors. If you hear the noise that means that the motor inside of the door actuator is working therefore it is likely the actuator itself as the problem. Though if you do not hear any noise that means it is likely the motor inside of the actuator. The actuator motors are very common failure on Lexus. The Lexus Community is almost an uproar because the a L in Lexus should also stand for luxury but there have been widespread simple problems reported such as this. A technician such as those we have here at yourmechanic will be able to diagnose your door lock issue for you firsthand. But if you consider following the test I suggested that should help you narrow down to a solution as well.
It may also be a beneficial to take a door panel off and probe a multi meter to the door actuator connectors to ensure they are receiving the proper power and ground when the buttons are pressed. If they are that only leaves two things that can be at fault. The door actuator or the motor inside of the door actuator.

ANSWER : Hi there. In general, wiring harnesses are sold by the manufacturer as a whole harness; not individual wires. It is much easier, cost-efficient and safer to replace the entire harness if it’s determined that it is faulty and the source of your alarm / door issue. It would be best to have one of our mobile mechanics come to your location and complete an electrical problems inspection though, as it’s possible that this issue is related to an error code trapped in the ECU. If this is the case, simply clearing the code will resolve the problem. If the issue is determined to be the wiring harness or an exposed wire, they can recommend and most likely complete the repairs as well.
