Passat (B7) :: Exit Lights On The Back Doors Won't Light Up


Dec 20, 2012

So last night I was cleaning my Passat out and noticed something strange. The front doors have a lighted exit light (you know, that red reflector-like light on the bottom of the door). The back doors have the same but they appear to not be lighted -- is this by design? I would think they would all light up.

What happened to the puddle lights for the rear doors?

They don't light up anymore...or did the fixture get changed to plain old reflectors?

Touareg :: Window Sill Red Lights Flash At Exit And Lock The Car

When I exit and lock, the window sill red lights flash for a while and then stop. I seem to recall they previously flashed continuously until car was unlocked. Now, the only flashing red light that continues is the tiny pair on the nav radio.

Passat (B6) :: Interior Light Flickering When Locked The Doors

So last night my son left the one of the interior lights on and when I locked the doors they started flickering...

Totally clueless of what is happening, just now I was taking a video of the issue to post here when I noticed on the dmf showing the trunk lid like open flickering also is that where the problem may be...? I checked the bulb in the trunk and is on and working including the led stripes that put there to get more light... I taped on the trunk bulb...

Passat (B7) :: Rear Doors Bottom Warning Light Installation?

I have a kit of lights from my wrecked mk6 jetta for the rear bottom door lights that I would like to install on my Passat. I looked into the DIY thread for our cars and found nothing. I found some info on the Bold-Sport website but the connector at the window motor is different on the mk6 jetta compared to the Passat. My questions are:

1- Are the pins location the same to make them work on the Passat then it is for the Jetta?
2- Is the coding to activate them the same as the Jetta?

Passat (B5) :: Back-up Lights Not Working / Faint Glow From Left Side When In Reverse

I've got an '04 Passat and I'm having trouble with the back-up lights. The fuse was blown (which I replaced), and I just finished swapping out the bulbs. Only one of the bulbs looked burned out.

The lights are still not working, although I get a very faint glow from the left side when in reverse. I'm really puzzled that I'd get a faint light from just one side.

Golf/GTI VI :: Squeaky Back Doors

So two weeks after an unreasonably stiff rear sway bar install, my back doors seem to have gotten rather squeaky when roads are anything but perfect. Opening them and giving them a tight close seems to satisfy them for a few minutes, but I need a better solution.

Is this just a job for some silicone spray in the latches? Hinges?

Bump the sway bar down to 90%?

Is there an adjustment somewhere I could be doing to tighten everything up?

Lexus RX 2004-09 :: Centre Console Doors Towards The Back Don't Open

I just bought a (new to me) 2007 RX 350. Love the car. The only problem is that the previous owner had kids and he let them do whatever they wanted inside the car. I got the car detailed and cleaned but I noticed that the centre console doors towards the back don't open and close. When I press the open button it opens ever so slightly and when I press close I can feel that the spring is trying to close the door but nothing happens.

Chevrolet - Astro :: 1997 - Back Doors Won't Open / Unlock

I have a 1997 Astro van and recently I shut the back doors (two door version) and now they will not open/unlock. I tried the power locks as well as the key. I read where you can take off the speaker cover in the door and reach thru and unlock/release from there. That did not work either. Not sure WHY Chevy decided not to put interior release handles. Any trick to opening the doors so I can see what the problem is?

Ford Excursion :: 2001 - Any Way To Open Back Doors From The Inside

I have a 2001 triton not that the engine size matters to this question. I've been sleeping in my excursion alot and have been enjoying it, i find exiting out the back doors is much easier but i have no way to open them from a shut position. I do see a cover of a small slotted whole and think it might be part to future customizing but haven't found such a mod. So how I can open my back doors from the inside?

Prius (Gen 2) :: Back Seat Doors Don't Open Unless Front Door Is Unlocked

I rarely drive with anyone else in my 2004 Prius. This week we've had out-of-town guests, with two people in the back seat. When the doors are locked, the front seat passenger can pull on the handle to open the door, but the back seat passengers can't open their doors with the handle until someone in one of the front seats pushes the door unlock button. The child safety locks are not set. I keep getting out of my car and forgetting to push the button to let the back seat passengers open their doors. Is there anything I can do to change this rear door behavior?

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Back Doors Won't Open

A while ago both back doors on my 01 crew cab stopped working. The outside handles jiggle loose but the inside ones feel like normal. They both went at about the same time. If it's those little black boxes that mount by the handle on the door, how do I even get to it to change it if it's stuck shut? I can't reach my hand in there either to even try to see what's wrong with it. How to get it open?

Ford 7.3L Power Stroke (1999-2003) :: Back Doors Won't Open From Either Side

I have always been afraid this day would come - that the engine would outlast the door and window systems.

I have never previously in life wanted a vehicle with electric assisted windows and doors for this reason - remember when those were expensive foo-foo options on a vehicle?

Anyway the back passenger door window has not worked for a couple years now. Not too big a deal.

A month ago the back passenger door could no longer be opened from either side. Not too good and I couldn't see much of a way to ever fix it.

This morning the back driver side door won't open from either side. The lock only half-heartedly wants to unlock via the powered system though it can be fully pulled up manually (not as possible on the passenger side rear).

Next up will be the front doors...

Jetta - Volkswagen :: Alarm Sets But Front And Back Driver Side Doors Won't Lock Using Keyfob

I've been dealing with a frustrating issue for a while now. Whenever I use my key fob the alarm sets but my front and back driver side doors won't lock. After playing around I've noticed that the driver's side door locks when actually inserting the key and turning. Also, all of the doors lock when I am sitting in the driver's seat and push the lock button on the door panel but the back driver's side door won't unlock unless I crank the vehicle and hit the unlock button. I don't think the key fob has a low battery because I've used both key fobs and it locks one side but not the other. It's all very weird to me. The situation is frustrating for two reasons:

1) Doors are not actually locking so thieves have access to whatever they can grab and run away;
2) I occasionally forget to hit the unlock button and cause my alarm to go off and annoy neighbors, coworkers, etc.

What could be causing this? I'd like a quick fix but I'm afraid I'm going to have to open up the door panels and play around all weekend.

Lexus - Gs300 :: Back Doors Don't Lock Or Unlock Electronically / Steering Wheel Moves Out Of Position

I have a 2003 Lexus GS 300 with 125k. Two problems. First, the back doors don't lock or unlock electronically (well, very rarely one will unlock). The only way to lock/unlock them is to manually reach around. It started with the driver's side back door almost two years ago, and in the past 7-8 months the other one started doing the same thing.

Also, the steering wheel automatically moves out of position when the key is removed, and automatically back into position when the car is started. A nice feature, but the steering wheel screams when it moves up and down. It's loud and embarrassing.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: F250 Extended Cab Back Doors Stopped Opening

1999 F250 extended cab back doors won't open. The passenger side stopped opening right after I purchased it a few months back (168K miles). I removed the door panels and reached my hand in feeling around. I know the latch releases are activated by cables but cannot figure out how they work. While feeling and pulling on the cables one became dislodged from its holder. The driver's side stopped opening yesterday . Do the cables stretch, break, or what? Or are the holders the issue? Is there an illustration that shows how the cables are run and connected?

Passat (B5) :: Parking Light Does Not Come On When Other Lights Are On

So here's the deal... My left rear parking light does not come on when the lights are on...all other lights and signals on the car are perfect...if you press on the brake, then the parking light bulb lights up just as if you were braking, and when you let off the brake it goes blank again. Its not the bulb, and its not the light bulb module because i took out the other rear one and plugged it in and had the same problems and plugged the "bad" module into the "good" side and it worked fine. So it looks like there is a bad wire somewhere correct? Also...I looked up in the car wiring diagram and that red/black wire leads to the ABS control....so it would have to be a bad wire between the light and the abs?
