djmac 1 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Hi all, Was at VW Festival over the Weekend, Woke up on sat morning and my battery was dead, Turns out my central locking pump/module is staying on? I can hear a constant buzz from it? I just disconnected it to get about for the time being, but has anyone any idea what it could be?Cheers Dan Link to post Share on other sites

djmac 1 Posted August 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I will have a check, after some more research, someone has said it could be a leak which is causing the pump to stay on! The electric window did stop working aswell but is back to normal! Link to post Share on other sites
djmac 1 Posted August 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 So when i have the pump on and i lock the car via the drivers side door, the boot and drivers door both lock, so im guessing its a passenger side fault... The window also drops 2 inch when i lock and unlock it? Link to post Share on other sites
bennyk 1,238 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 The door looms (where it goes from the pillar to the door) are prone to wires breaking and causing all sorts of problems, just pull the rubber boot back and check for split wires before you do anything else. As even though the central locking run by air there's still micro switches and stuff in the catch that tell the car the doors still open etc. Could also be a faulty catch. Hope that helps;) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
Cespo500 1 Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Sounds like you have a leak somewhere Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 I found the leak in mine by listening really closely when the pump was running on, probably looked like the car whisperer doing it Link to post Share on other sites
