Passat (B7) :: Dead Battery / Trunk Stuck Open
So my sisters Passats battery died this weekend. She had jumper cables, but they were buried in the trunk amongst all her other crap in there. We ended up folding the back seats and crawling into the trunk to release it using the trap lever, but it was a PITA.
Is there no keyhole, or is it hidden like the door key holes? The trunk release button on the driver door is electrical switch, so that did not work either.
Passat (B7) :: Trunk Not Fully Swing Opening
When I open my trunk it just doesn't swing open, it feels like it opens up half way bounces back a little and then opens up fully.
I chalked it up to it being a single shock on one side and it can't open that fast but I want to make sure I don't have something defective "Already got hit twice in the head by the trunk lock after leaning into fast "...
Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Trunk Locked With Dead Battery
I have a 2007. So as the title says, my battery is completely dead, and my trunk is locked. I have the master key, but for some reason, it won't unlock the trunk. It will unlock the front door, but not the trunk. The switch on the dash won't release the trunk because the battery is dead, and the seat release is in the locked position, so I can't get in my trunk from inside the cabin either. This is an incredibly inconvenient situation, because I have jumper cables right there inside of my trunk.

SE with Nav & Sunroof, when opening & closing Tilt the motor vibrates and the hinges squeak, after the dealer apparently lubricated the s/roof the squeaking etc is still happening..
The service manager says it's the rubber water seals closing or pulling apart! he says that after lubrication just 1car wash will enable the squeaking to return!!!!!
He also says that the trunk on my wife's 2012 Jetta should not fully pop open when using the keyfob, buy it popped fully open for 2 months - now it's just lifts a little..did VW reprogram via the internet? or whats the story...........
Passat (B5) :: No Startup / Windows Won't Roll Down / No Power Locks / Trunk Not Opening
2000 Passat 1.8t 5Speed... Drove to school today, Parked, the windows wouldn't roll down, the locks weren't working, the trunk wouldn't open so i tried starting it. The car wouldn't start. Charged the battery. Still nothing. Tried jumping it, Nothing. So i had to push start it and it ran but nothing still worked.
Drove it home. and it wont start still. I looked it up and some one said they had the same problem, and it was the CCM (comfort control module)? Is this what it sounds like. No dash lights or lcd warning came up. fuses are fine. radio worked. headlights. dash worked. nothing else though.
Passat (B5) :: Power Outlet In Trunk Is Dead
Asking this for my father who has a B5.5 wagon - He believes he may have blown a fuse for one of the power outlets in the trunk while hardwiring a trailer harness. Where the fuse might be? He didn't find anything blown in the kick panel box.
View 2 RepliesPassat (B5) :: 1999 1.8T - No Power After Dead Battery
Three weeks ago I left my lights on while at work. After I jumped it, everything was running terribly. I had absolutely no power and it felt like the engine was going to fall out at any time. I got it home and had a roommate look at it. After not seeing anything wrong, I tried starting it again and everything ran perfectly fine. I'm assuming it was something with the computer and it just needed reprogrammed.
So last week a friend of mine drove the car and also left the lights on. When we went to jump it, it would start for 2-3 seconds then stall, even with a little gas. After a few attempts, it stopped starting. Now, it'll turn but nothing else. We pulled the battery and put it on a charger. The battery held 12.6V and is only 6 months old. Put it back in and got the same result.
The fuel pump is turning on and I've checked every fuse. It is around 20 degrees out but I had a full tank so I don't believe it to be a frozen fuel line. It seems like an electrical problem since there were no mechanical problems before the dead battery. The only complaint I had was a lack of power sometimes, but I don't think that would have a great deal with this.
Passat (B5) :: Replaced Dead Battery Now No Radio
I replaced my dead battery today. Once the new battery was in everything worked just fine except for the radio. The radio is not in safe mode it is completely dead. The radio worked after my last jump. I had turned it off before replacing the battery. Now it will not turn on and the security light does not blink.
I have checked the fuse and it looks good. I have removed the fuse for a while and put it back in with no luck. Is there a trick to getting it to come back on?

View 3 RepliesPassat (B5) :: 2003 - Battery Not Working Replaced Now Dead Again?
I have a 2003 passat wagon v6 4 motion.
Last Thursday the battery was dead. I could jump the car and it was fine. Drove for 20 minutes to work and 10 hours later it was more dead than in the morning. I bought a new $150 battery, the heavy duty one, that Thursday. Friday everything was fine, 60 + miles. then Sunday for another 30 miles, no issues. This morning it almost didn't start, then later going home I needed to jump it again.
There is nothing plugged into any of the 12v power adapters. No Lights left on. Seems like it's not charging? So I was thinking alternator. Though reading on here seems Like i'd get some check engine lights/codes about the alternator??
What can I do to check if the alternator is charging? I have a meter and am good with electronics, but do not know that much about cars... Looks like the alternator is burried under the front left og the engine as you are looking at it standing in front??

I unplugged the battery... replugged.. the switch opened the trunk lid again but top didn't move and switch was a solid red light... once I pressed closed, trunk lid closed and switch stopped lighting after (not responsive). What it could be?
Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Opening Trunk Of 2004 GLS With Key
Can I use my key to open my trunk in the case of a dead battery? I disconnected my battery last night to try it out, but it wouldn't open. Some people say turn the key 50 degrees, but I don't think my key will turn that far. I was also scared of snapping the key off in the lock.
View 3 RepliesElantra GD (2013+) :: Spontaneous Trunk Opening
Happened with both my 2012 and 2014 Elantras. Tried to solve it by removing one remote fob (I carry two complete sets of keys at all times), with only partial success.
Tried another suggested solution: wrapping the remaining fob in a silicone slip-over wrapping to mitigate accidental contact with the release.
Finally resolved it by removing the fuse that allows remote release of the trunk.
The accidental releases were becoming very inconvenient and problematic and I'm willing to manually pop it with the lever near the driver seat.
Passat (B7) :: Running Lights Stay On Lead To Dead Battery
I have a Canadian spec TDI highline trim with automatic headlights. I generally do not lock it when I park in my garage at home. Last night I parked it and came out this morning to see that the running lights, but not the headlights, were on. The battery was basically dead and I had to boost it to get going.

View 4 RepliesLexus RX 2004-09 :: Trunk Not Opening Using Key Fob Instead All Windows Open
When I first got my 2006 Lexus RX400h (LOVE the car, btw), I would unlock all the doors by clicking twice on the unlock button on the key fob, then hold it down to open the trunk.
My dad went to get something from the trunk and I gave him the same instructions. Well when he did it (we were in the middle of a rain storm) all of the windows opened and not the trunk. Now this is what happens every time.
I'm not sure what happened, but I'm really missing opening my trunk through my key fob especially when my hands are full. Why this is happening and how I can open my trunk using the key fob again?
