Passat Door Locks Keep Clicking

This is super annoying as i live in the dc area where stop and go traffic is quite common.

Passat door locks keep clicking.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it. When ever i drive my car the automatic door locks keep clicking. If this is occurring with the locks as well as a power loss then you may have a bad ignition switch. A retired vw mechanic friend said that rear passenger door mechanism may be shorting out.

Mechanic s assistant are you fixing your passat yourself. What s strange is it does this every time it goes above 10 mph so in a parking lot the rear door locks are repeatedly clicking each time the car slows and speeds up. Endless 10 mph door lock. I think this may have to do with my gas door.

What have you tried so far. 1 answer 0 comments. Someone said it could be the sltanatior. A few weeks ago the metal gas door cover came off at the carwash.

It sounds like the noise is coming from the rear locks. Would that cause it. Most of the time this is due to a bad connection or a failing ignition switch.
