Window Micro Switch
#17
Hey I thought I'd share since it may save someone a bit of work. I was going to disassemble my door after seeing multiple threads on the door micro switches. My window goes down when interior or exterior handle is lifted but then goes back up when released, indicating the door open/closed switch is faulty. This is located at the bottom of the latch. Anyway I tried spraying a dose of wd40 down the bottom of the latch (using the straw attachment). Two hours later all working again!

It might be the regulator or micro switch. Does it try and drop a little or none when you pull handle? Does it go back up or not at all when you close door? Any extra noise when you lower and raise window?
Mine was just the reg on the pass side. Just changed it the other day. Watch Bentley video, take your time.............

Passenger window does not lower and raise. It does not matter if the inside or outside handle is used.
Key fob does not lock car. double beep occurs. Only the driver side lock locks with the key. 3 turns of the driver side lock does not lock the passenger door.
From this thread it seems like replacing the passenger door lock assembly. Might be all that is needed.
What else might be needed??? What about replacing - part # 996 613 126 00 M100
When looking for a door lock I read MK1 Pcar is the same as MK5 VW. Is this correct? Is the door lock 8 pin or 9 pin?
Your advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Where exactly are you spraying? Into the lock itself, or the gap around the lock, or...? My passenger side acts like yours and there's no lock on that side.
THANK YOU! Worked for me as well. My window didn't go down at all when opening the door (but it did open and close with the window switches) and the door lock light stayed on, so most likely the lock/unlock switches were stuck. A liberal dose of WD40 down the lock fixed it! Much better than removing the door panel etc.

You spray into the lock when the door is open, everywhere you can. Operate it a couple of times and spray some more.
Worked for about half a year and then the problem came back, so eventually I did have to have the lock replaced.

I had the same problem on the passengers side door I replaced the door handle Micro switch 2 times and it wasn't the problem. It turned out to be the door actuator. Replaced it and that did the trick!
