Central locking
« on: 05 March 2025, 20:51 »
My central locking is playing up after having removed and refitted the driver's door. The electrical switch inside the door was very crunchy when operated manually and although I have used switch cleaner and silicone grease from outside the casing, I cannot be certain that internally it is making good electrical contacts. I have checked the continuity of the wires from the connector in the door and that seems OK. I will set up something to be able to mimic the switch at the weekend.

So  although it could be a broken wire as it passes through the door into the cabin, I am still suspecting the switch is duff. Has anybody been able to source a new one in the recent past? I have checked VW Heritage, e-bay etc but nothing doing. Unless I want to pay £45 and £50 postage for a second hand one from somewhere distant in Europe.!!

Anybody know of a stash of new switches?
