biggrim 0 Posted September 8, 2003 Have mine almost off but can't figure out how to disconnect the wires for the central locking. I wanted to degrease and clean up the locking mechanism to see if my random locked out thing will go away with the drivers (problematic) door cleaned. Want to make sure it will work 100% before I do a passat rear handle conversion. Any help would be appreciated as the car is in my driveway unlocked with the handle hanging off. Thanks in advance, Grim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cramer 0 Posted September 8, 2003 remove the inner door panel and trace the wires from the lock down the inside of the door. You'll find the plug near the bottom. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggrim 0 Posted September 8, 2003 Cheers matey. Decided to leave it attached and give it a mini clean cause it was getting dark but I'll remember that for the next time. I'm just glad I didn't try and unplug it from the handle... that would have been nasty :cry: I'll be raiding a scrapyard soon for some Passat rears but first I'll have to do a bit of research cause a few folk on here have had a bit of difficulty in getting them to fit whereas some have done a straight swap with no probs. Can't be bothered with too much hassle with this "simple" mod. Cheers for your help cramer 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Edwards 0 Posted September 8, 2003 You need the latch mechanisms as well as the handles. Make sure you re-grease the handle or it might not last very long... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
