    Hi All
    please bear with me as this is the first forum I have been on, I have a 2010 A3 2.0tdi 3 door, the drivers door won’t lock or unlock on the key fob, The other doors lock and unlock on the key fob. the locking switch on the inside of drivers door doesn’t work or light up, the electric window on the passenger side won’t work from the drivers side but does from the passenger side.

    I peeled back the rubber boot between the A pillar and the door and found two wires broke so I soldered them back together ok. I have checked the wiring from inside the footwell and through the plugs and all the way to the plug on the module connected to the window motor which all check out ok, I have checked continuity from all the plugs in the door to where they go and all check out ok. I changed The door module for a used one on the window motor and tried a new door lock mechanism too.

    I’m lost on what else it could be, can anyone help out and have any suggestions on what I can try next..
    thanks

    The soldering won’t last long. You need to know what the central convenience system is seeing as being faulty, in some cases if you repair a fault and don’t delete the fault code, the system will still act as if the fault is still there.

    I’ve replaced the door loom on my A3 as had the snapped wires. As Crasher says the repairs will just fail again as the wiring is brittle. You’ll probably find that there are more breaks that you can’t see until you take the boot completely off.

    Thanks Jonathanfenton. All the wires seem ok and I have continuity through all the wires now. I’ll get the faults deleted and go from there.

    I have the same problem on my sisters car, was the wiring the issue?

    I noticed when opening and closing the door the light for the window lock button intermittently lights up, so might be some wiring issue somewhere.
