Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    T5 Door Lock/Unlock Button

    The Unlock function of the Lock/Unlock rocker button on the T5 drivers door sill is not working. The lock function works fine. I can hear the unlock microswitch click but nothing happens.
    Is this likely to be a localised problem or something deeper?
    Also can the lock and window control button unit be removed from the door sill without taking the door panel off?

      Those switches do die. Especially if there's been any water ingress, causing corrosion on the contacts.

      You'll need to remove the door trim to be able to pop the switch housing out.

        Can't you just lever the top panel off?

          I believe it's retained from the underside by fragile plastic tabs.

            Ok, thanks, I'll try to *gently* pry the button panel off and check the connections etc.
