Driver's door won't lock. I can lock the doors with the key fob but it does not beep. The alarm sets, and the passenger doors all lock, but the drivers door does not. I have checked that all doors are closing properly, and the transmission is in park. I also tried both key fobs with the same result. insert your vallet key in the driver side door lock (outside the car) turn the vallet key towards lock and hold it there. while it is held towards lock, press the unlock button on your new remote for 2 seconds. let go. press it again for 2 seconds. let go and you should hear an alarm honk or something like that. #1 · Jun 25, 2011 Calling all gurus; 2006 Passat, the drivers door does not unlock with the key fob nor the door button, but all the other doors do. I can open the door from the inside using the handle. The light indicates the door is Locked. It seems like the 'unlock' signal is not getting to the drivers door. In this video, I'll show you how you can open the key fob and change battery or clean the battery connectors to make it work! This morning I had an issue with my car key not opening the door 2006 B6 keys stopped working - 25-10-2009, 08:14 PM. Hi. I parked my 2006 B6 (2.0 TDI 66k miles on clock) and pressed the lock button on the key fob and nothing happened. I pressed it a few times (lock - not unlock which I'm told can reset the key) but still nothing. Yes I tried the procedure; removed plastic cap besides door handle; put good key in ignition w/o starting car; lock door with manual plastic key; push bad fob buttons. does not work. The key will start the car but will not lock/unlock doors. It will not open trunk or set alarm either. #2 · Jul 13, 2012 Hi tom, I'm facing the same issue, central lock works only on doors but not on the trunk to open my trunk i have to use the key. i was able to repair it, i've removed all the screw then i put oil in the lockbut it didn't work for long time Reply Quote Z z32drifter 260 posts · Joined 2011 #3 · Jul 13, 2012 You can usually get away with putting the key in the ignition, turning the ignition on (not starting) then bashing the lock/unlock buttons a few times. However I don't know how you go about 272VAw.
