Passat Door Locks Keep Clicking

A retired vw mechanic friend said that rear passenger door mechanism may be shorting out.

Passat door locks keep clicking.

When ever i drive my car the automatic door locks keep clicking. This issue started yesterday every time i go above 10 miles the door locks auto engage as if they are not locked. What have you tried so far. Most of the time this is due to a bad connection or a failing ignition switch.

I think this may have to do with my gas door. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it. Same thing happens at stop signs. This is super annoying as i live in the dc area where stop and go traffic is quite common.

That would be normal if it happened once a trip. Someone said it could be the sltanatior. Our passat locks the doors as soon it crosses above 10 mph. If this is occurring with the locks as well as a power loss then you may have a bad ignition switch.

What s strange is it does this every time it goes above 10 mph so in a parking lot the rear door locks are repeatedly clicking each time the car slows and speeds up. A few weeks ago the metal gas door cover came off at the carwash. Mechanic s assistant are you fixing your passat yourself.
