Passat (B7) :: Thumping Noise From Trunk When Open Or Close Driver Side Doors
Every time I open then close either of the driver side doors (haven't tried passenger yet), I hear a thumping noise coming from the trunk.
When I opened the trunk to see what it was, the noise stopped. Only with trunk closed does this happen.
Could it be air pressure causing the trunk lid to move? I didn't think the car was that air tight.

View 2 RepliesHonda - Accord :: 2001 - Battery And Open Doors / Trunk Lights Illuminate Intermittently
2001 Honda Accord 4 cylinder... At 256K miles I had the battery and open doors, open trunk lights illuminate intermittently. Initially the lights came on for 1/2 mile. 150 miles later it was more like 20 miles on, off for a mile, on for 40 miles, off for 25 miles, on for 10 miles, and then off. A Honda dealer ( after the first 20 miles of battery light being on and 70 miles from home) replaced the battery and the lights came back on a mile down the road. I managed to get home. With engine running running battery voltage was 14.4 volts. The light stayed off for 30 miles the next day. AutoZone found no diagnostic codes. A mechanic told me that the battery light could be intermittent with a failing alternator. I changed the alternator (cracked case). The voltmeter again showed 14.4 volts with engine running. Will the car return to reliability?
View 1 RepliesSonata NF (2006-10) :: Power Doors / Trunk Not Working When Ignition Off
2006 Sonata GLS. When I lock/unlock door with keyfob, it beeps, but doors or trunks will not open/close. When I put key in ignition and either start or turn to on, I can press keyfob and lock/unlock doors and unlock trunk. Manual trunk release in drivers foot area does nothing unless car is on. Checked all fuses (passenger driver compartment and under hood). What is the exact fuse to focus on, or if this could be some other issue ? BCM ?
View 1 RepliesPassat (B6) :: Trunk Will Not Open By Itself
So my Passat 2.0T 4dr trunk will not open up on it's own.
When I press the trunk release button inside the car or on my key fob, the trunk latch releases but it will not fling up on its own.
How would I fix this? Do I spray WD40 on the latch bar??
I have bumper to bumper warranty on the car....Do I just take it to the dealers or is this something I can fix? Will the stealership try to charge me for this work?

View 1 RepliesPassat (B5) :: Engine Not Cranking / Doors Not Locking Or Unlocking But Trunk Works
Car worked fine yesterday. Today, I walk to my car, unlock the doors, lights work but engine won't crank. just a few very light clicks (3 -5 clicks quickly, wasn't really counting, a relay? solenoid? )
Lights work, horn works radio works. try to unlock the rear doors with the remote, but it won't. Try to open trunk with remote and it works.
Call roadside assistance, attach a battery jumper to the battery and same thing. engine doesn't crank, windows won't roll down, doors won't unlock or lock. but trunk works. radio works, lights work.
I wanted to think starter or starter solenoid but the issues with the door and windows have me puzzled. Its a 2001.5 passat v6, 5 speed, engine light is not on.

Packed my car with luggage in the trunk got to my destination and I can't get the trunk open. From the trunk itself to the release on the door to the button on the remote nothing will open it. I am screwed because I really need to open this trunk and no VW dealers are open.

View 5 RepliesPassat (B6) :: MFD Says Trunk Is Open But In Actual It Is Not
For the past couple of weeks I have been having some issues with my trunk. The MFD would say that the trunk is open when indeed it is not. With that happening the car will lock the doors but not arm with an audible beep and the door lock lights will flicker at the same time so would the trunk display on the MFD.
I found a fix by locking the trunk down with the valet key on the driver door by the trunk/gas buttons, that stopped the trunk display from lighting up and the car was no able to arm the alarm properly.
Now within 3 days the issue has come back up even with the trunk locked with the valet key. In order to get the car to arm properly I have to unlock the Trunk Switch , open the trunk, re close trunk and then re lock the trunk switch with the valet key.
Passat (B5) :: 2001 - Trunk Won't Open
My buddy just bought an '01 B5 1.8T 4Mo. He got a great deal on it and it only has 74k on the clock, but it seems as though the P.O. was a d-bag. There's a few cigarette burns on the upholstery and somehow the key fob looks like it was melted??
Anyways, since the key fob has melted, he must open the doors manually with the key. For some reason, the trunk won't open though. He said he unlocked it manually with the key, and presses the button on the trunk lid, but it just won't open. I told him to fold down his back seats and go through there to get into the trunk, but he said that his back seats don't fold either and that there's a metal beam behind the seats. I'm guessing maybe this was put on for chassis stiffening of the 4Mo models??? You guys think maybe the cable is broken or something??

My trunk won't open with the button on key FOB, interior button, and trunk-lid button. I did check the glove compartment valet button multiple times as well. No luck there. The trunk does open manually with the metal key from the key FOB, just not the other buttons.
EDIT: The key FOB button works in that it makes the long beep noise, but the trunk does not pop. The auto-shut function does not work either. Just checked the driver side panel "TRK OPN" fuse and that's perfectly fine.
Could it be a bad solenoid? Bad latch or fuse?

I own a 2012 Passat SE, this is the situation-
1) The trunk will unlock when I use the key or the interior switch.
2) The trunk will not "pop" open intermittently.
However they deal primarily with stuck trunk doors; mine is not stuck. It just won't pop open all the time.

The trunk on my 2000 Passat is hard to open. I've lubricated all the hinge points and replaced both the lift struts. The new lift struts made NO difference over the old ones. Is this common with Passats or am I overlooking something? I also want to disable the daytime running lights on this car. Is this possible? If so, how is it done?
