Yeah not good news sounds like your lock module is fu****  :sad: cost about £70 from vw.  Do you get probs with the locking on that side?

Yeah ive got the same prob mate. Ive got power there aswell  :shocked: Maybe the switch inside the lock module in the door is faulty, or maybe the soldering has come loose on the circuit board?

have you tried tightning the bulb?? i think they work on a 1/4 turn and if not seated correctly won't light up; worth a try before spunking cash on a new module

and i'd still try a new bulb; even if there is power up to the plug then it surely can only be the bulb  :undecided: couple of quid from a dealer
