Hi,

So I got my takata airbag changed yesterday on my 2014 tsi vrs.

Since then I can't lock my car.

When I lock it from the inside there is no problem.

If I lock it with the remote control or by touching the handle, the car locks but the hazard lights and puddles light Start flashing and the car unlocks the trunks....

The shop is closed untill Monday so I am stuck.

Tomorrow I will try disconnecting the battery.

Meanwhile, if anyone has an Idea, i am all ears

Disconnected and reconnected the battery, the whole car went to errors,

Started the engine and let it run then the errors cleared.

The car would still not lock.

Turned off the car for 5mn restated, turned off again and the car finally accepted to lock without flushing and staying that the trunks is open.

I really don't know what happened

Well the car started acting weird again.

It will go back to the dealer as this started after they changed the airbag

So i got my answer from the vw forum. It turned out to be the led lights in the trunk.

It seems, i quote the forum "swapping the bulb out for an LED changes the resistance of the bulb which changes the voltage on the monitoring connection - and so it makes sense that the change results in "boot lid open"."

I switched back and forward between the led and normal bulb and the notification would only appear with the ked Bulbs....

So problem solved
