VW Passat Driver Door Won't Open - Fix!

Hello,

My wife drives it, and unfortunately, more and more defects are appearing.
The latest problem I'm having is with the driver's side door. I've done some research online and have come across potential issues such as a faulty cable or problems with the electrical contacts in the lock.

I ran the diagnostic scan, and the error message indicates an electrical problem. Is this more likely a contact issue or a stuck cable that's blocking the lock?

Thank you for your help.



Edit Autoservice: Log file shortened.

Possibly a feather is stuck in the lock - the door opener is jammed when pulled.

Relief can be achieved by deburring the feather and lubricating it thoroughly.

Tip: Use a suitable multi-spline socket on one of the three mounting screws (on the outside of the lock) and tap it gently with a small hammer (100 grams).
With a bit of luck, the lever will snap back into its original position.

This aligns with my experience of encountering the same error.

Fiddling around with it randomly fixed the problem.

Okay, please provide the German text you would like me to translate into English. I will only provide the translation.
