																	This issue also indicates a bad lock actuator.

																	Dawda the mechanic just a quick guide on this mk5 golf. 
																	Here is a vid i made on fixing vw golf mk4 door locking mechanisms or rather replacing them.

																	I also went through getting a dea. 
																	Locks work from the switch but not the remote.
