Subject:Electric Lock Disconnect?
From:Ben Cichowski

Hi all,

I've got an 88 Wolfburg with electric locks that are acting up. Same
problems as posted a number of times in the archives - push them down and
they auto pop back up. I think it is binding in the rear hatch....but right
now, I don't have the time to fix them - bigger fish to fry.

Anyone had luck just popping off the door panels and disconnecting the
wiring to the two front door locks? - Is this a good temp fix, or do the
locks then not work at all? The sliding door locks no matter what, and I'm
not worried about the rear hatch for now.

Just wanted to know ahead of time - those panels don't like to come on and
off too many times with those plastic pop tabs.

Thanks,
Ben
