Hello All,
It's been a while since I've posted, I hope everyone is doing well!
I've been having an intermittent issue with the power locks on my 2000 Jetta GL. Specifically, both driver side doors. The rear door is worse, but when it starts to act up the front door gets glitchy too.
At first, I thought that there might be something wrong with my remote/ key fob - but I'm pretty sure that's not it, now. What happens is that when I lock the doors and set the alarm (using the key fob), those two won't lock. Unlocking and relocking don't work using the remote, BUT - if you go over to the passenger side and use the unlock and lock function on THAT door, the driver side doors will lock after a few toggles. Using the key in the driver's door itself will lock it, but not the rear door (so, when it's acting up, I just lock the rear door manually by pushing the lock down).
But wait, there's more!
When this is happening, the alarm will set itself, even though the doors aren't locked! Furthermore, you can OPEN these doors (when they're glitching) and not set off the alarm!! This leads me to believe that there is some kind of sensor, for the doors, that's having an issue...
Ideas? Help? I'm hoping this is something easily/cheaply fixed...
Thanks in Advance, ~Mister.Lull
