Rich Posted December 7, 2010 Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 doesn't sound like a relay problem. I'd say it's going to be the door switch. when you open it, there's a little clicky thing, pull it out, replace it, should be problem sorted. I'd be tempted to say the relay but there's two faults which are both connected to one thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dec Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 I got told it's a mictoswitch in the door lock module but vw just replace the complete module Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99hjhm Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Door lock microswitch, mine did all the above, changed the drivers door lock and now it's fine. Easy way to test, remove door card and insulation, then press the microswitch on the bottom of the door lock, or short the terminals, the light will come on/go off.

red5racing Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 it will be the door lock, very common issue on VAG cars from about 1998.There is a door lock switch built inside the lock which if operating correctly will turn on the interior light and set the buzzer off within the instrument panel if lights are left on.There are three different part numbers for the driver's door for the RHD market with a change of part number in mid 2002 for models with central locking.

Danyutz Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Since it revived, does opening the passenger door, after unlocking the car, would prime the pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Depends if it's a LHD or not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Loop Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I'll keep an eye on the thread as I too have this problem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danyutz Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) Pete, mine is LHD. Here's why I'm asking, because since the cold weather started, I'm having issues starting in the morning, changed the battery, it slightly improved, but now i blame it on the pump not priming when i open the door - i still have another option, to switch ignition on, wait a bit, then start - i'll try in the morning.

Danyutz Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Never mind, i can answer myself, it primes when opening my passenger door ( which is your driver's door ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racingbrett Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Since this thread isnt too old, is the switch replaceable or is it a whole lock mechanism jobby, finally got the car last night, drove 2 meters this morning and the fault light flicked on, got that sorted local with new coils and a water temp sender, but now the interior light isnt trigering from the drivers door, was working until this evening and its just packed in, after the nightmare iv had getting this car I know i should be able to get it done under the warranty but really dont want to drive it all the way to chesterfield if its an easy cheap job.

Skezza Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 Microswitches. Either replace the lock mech or fix. Not a huge job, but a job all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
