1996 VW Jetta. Recently the electric door locks are unlocking while I am away. I have tried to lock them manualy and also using the electric button. However when I return to the car it is completely unlock. Does anyone have a suggestion?

| HELP!!! How do you deactivate a 96 jetta volkswagen. I can't start the car. This is a brought used vehicle which I didn't know had an alarm. I think I made a mistake and activated it through the ignition alarm when I parked and shut off the engine. It seems like it has a duel alarm. I can deactivate the alarm by locking the doors and unlocking with the key. However, when I tried to start the engine it won't start. I don't see any switch that is related to the alarm to deactivate. | |
I bought a 2005 1/2 (newer model) Jetta about a month ago and just within the past week it decideds it wont chirp after I lock it. So I dont know if this means its not setting the alarm or what. I hit the lock button twice and normally it chirps to let me know its armed, but i doesnt. Any ideas on whats going on?

Replying to: bpeebles (Oct 04, 2007 4:23 pm) I don't think it has changed, we lock all doors with one press on our 2005.5 and there is a little chirp. I assume that when all doors are locked the alarm is set...is that correct? Alarms are not something we would ever worry about, those things are just an annoyance as far as I am concerned, we just want the doors locked.

The way to KNOW that the alarm is "armed" is to see the blinking indicator on the top of the drivers door. (The A4 vehicles have the indicator there... your A5 may have it in differnt location.)
