Caddy Central locking not working

[mcgowan.b]

I've just bought a 07 caddy and the central locking isn't working. The fob light is flashing when I press the buttons. I've checked fuse 49 and it seems sound.
The switch on the drivers door does not operate the locks for the rest of the van and I can't seem to be able to lock the sliding door.
Opening and locking the drivers door with the key does not appear to operate the central locking either. Is there a common issue with this, or where should I start looking?

Not sure if it’s the same for all VWs but a lot seem to suffer from a broken wire in the bellows that goes from the car to the door. Could be worth a look there given the switches don’t do as they should.

The loom in the drivers door looks solid. All controls from the door are working aside from the central locking. The electric window control for the passenger side doesn't work but it works from the passenger door.


The sensor for the door lock is also working on the drivers door - the van know's when it's open or not
The sensor for the passenger door is working as the interior lighting is working when it's opened.


Neither the sliding door nor the larger rear door operates the interior lights, but if you open the small rear door then you get an interior light activated.


I did find that the sensor was disconnected in the large rear door and I reconnected it.

The immobiliser light also does not flash in the drivers door

Spoke with the previous owner, they said it needs a cls module


Does anyone know where it's located under the dashboard?

Did you manage to sort this issue? Having same problem on mine. Cheers

No. I ordered a replacement Control Module unit from fleabay. Waiting on it to arrive to see if it fixes the problem

I was thinking that could be the issue I have. Got no interior lights and none of the central locking system working.

I’ve only jus bought the van and it’s got the arl engine in so all the hard work has been done. Jus got a few niggly bits to sort. Needs a remap too as it’s lumpy on idle and smokes like dot cotton on boost. Common issue when they have the asz/arl engine in.

Did you have any luck after changing the control module? Tia

The new module needed to be coded to the van,

As it turns out they had remove the fuse completely for the central locking for some reason.

It's not working on the rear barn doors however, so I need to resolve that now.

I see okay mate cheers, mine works from drivers door with the key, or on the inside Aslong as the ignition is on, it’s a pain in the *** when I need to unlock the back but I can live with it for now 🤣
