Volkswagen Cabrio door lock malfunction with key and interior buttons not working on Volkswagen Cabrio

Problem overview

Some Volkswagen Cabrio owners report experiencing issues with their door locks, where neither the key nor the interior buttons function properly. These problems may stem from malfunctioning power door lock buttons, which prevent locking or unlocking from both inside and outside the vehicle. Additionally, owners may find that the inside door lock switches on both doors have stopped working, complicating the ability to control the locks from the interior. Some report that the central locking button on the key only opens the driver's door, indicating a potential issue with the key or central locking system. Furthermore, the door and trunk locks may not respond at all, necessitating manual intervention for locking and unlocking. Owners also note that the inside door pin lock buttons may be non-functional, adding to the complexity of the situation. If these issues persist despite troubleshooting efforts, it is advisable to seek assistance from a Volkswagen specialist or qualified mechanic for proper diagnosis and resolution.
