Help! Haunted locks! 2003 Mk4 1.9TDI
Short story issue; key fob acts desynchronized or just isn't sending signal? When both doors unlocked, locking door manually with key on driver's side blocks both doors, but passenger door pops back unlocked again
Long story issue;
For months my hatch has been "open" but not unlatched fully. I could see light through the edges. Didn't leak, didn't worry. Went to a euro car show today, decided to wash car on the way back. A little water got in, didn't worry. Car alarm started randomly going off, Asked boyfriend if it could be hatch. He said nah. We go out, car is fine. I lock car with key fob, car lights up, but no beep. Sad. I love beep. 15 minutes later, car goes off again. We don't do anything because we know "nothing" was wrong.
Hours later it goes off again. He starts my bug, hatch light is on. Didn't know I had one of those. I go out, we peel the panel off, I play with the mechanism thing, it unlatches, we shut it. Yay!
I try to lock my car with my fob. It doesn't lock, no light triggering, no beep. Extra sad, extra "wtf ☹️". I manually lock the door. Boyfriend on other side said "you're unlocking to door", to which I said "no, I'm locking it??" He comes around and sees my side is locked. He unlocks it, then locks it. The locking post pops right back up after sinking down
TL;DR, my door locks are haunted, please see video, PLEASE HELP 😭
