After only 151,000 miles and ten years of locking/unlocking, my power door
locks will not quit cycling until I shut the door(s); and then they almost
always stop in the locked mode. All doors and hatch work and lock/unlock
properly except for the continued cycling at the doors. A trip to my VW
mechanic (since 1963), shopowner friend yielded zilch.  After helping him
push around a Honda and a Subaru  (his partner is semi-retired and off to
gun shows) I was paid with a copy of the wiring diagrams off his diagnostics
computer. He has not experienced such a malfunction and before I delve into
the unknown behind the door panels I thought I might tap this wealth of
knowledge and experience that I have most recently stumbled upon.  Ideas?

One other problem and I promise I'll stop writing and just read like I've
been doing for this, my first week on the list... .  Occasionally, my
automatic transmission slips on any given morning (doesn't appear to be
weather related...no consistancy anway). It slips for only the first few
feet/yards and it always stops slipping and does not slip again after the
first time. The last time in the above shop the wonderful, experienced and
all 'round good guy mechanic gave a look at it, found nothing amiss...as I
said it is intermittent.
Again...any ideas?
