Keyless lock button not working Help !

Its a new door handle (painted) and door strip to replace it, not a horrendous job but not fun either.

oh, looks like a small push button switch on top of handle surely thats replaceable ? but if not then the whole thing it has to be are they all the same handle on all 4 doors ? anybody got a duff one ?? im going to try and replace the button.. |
I have the same issue but it's intermittent. A good soak with WD-40 works for a while!!
|
Duff door handle = next thing you're battery will be flat. Don't replace the car battery, just lock the doors with the remote until the handle is fixed
|
Not a serviceable item sadly, it will as mentioned only get worse and in some cases keep the kessy module awake and suck the battery down overnight.
They are the same handles with the drivers one having a different part number because its had a plug hole removed for the key barrel. Personally if your getting one done, buy another or 4 so you have them in stock already painted. Since I have owned mine all four have been replaced and I have another spare for the inevitable failure of one. |
cheers to all for the info
right , ive been in engineering all my life..
i was taught this if one man put it together another man can take it apart Not always the case but i wont be beaten till i see one of these in pieces im on a mission now +++ so who has a faulty one to send me ??? |
My front door handles have never worked in my three and a half years of ownership, this never bothered me as the rears did work. Just recently they've stopped working too, simultaneously.
Is there a connection or just coincidence that they've both "died" together? If you find a fix roberto I'm paying you a visit and stopping over till you've fixed mine :ROFL: |
If you can, strip the door down first to check that there isn't a broken wire good by to the handle. This was the case in my drivers door. It's at quite an angle and the wires move about when you open the door, one of the wires had broke.
|
good point (wiring on audi's have never been a strong point)
but there is a micro switch type click when you press the button down my drivers door button just presses blank the other 3 click like a switch spare bed already made up Ron +++ |
VCDS will tell you all you need to know in regards to the status of the door handle, you can also do test on button and see if it responds in measuring blocks
|
Mine is intermittent. Specifically when wet. It can actually blow bubbles or squirt bits of water.
I think a fix could be to inject very thin silicon caulking after drying it out thoroughly with maybe a syringe. It would set so you don't get oil on your finger every time you press the button but also will stay flexible enough to be able to click the switch. However i would really really like to see someone taking a door lever apart to see what switch is used and how the button cover looks like from the inside to see if a method of sealing can be applied in a more technical manner. |

someone must have a duff handle if they have changed one
come on all you guys have a look around please dont tell me you have thrown them away also... i noticed the button on my drivers door (which has failed) has sunk down a touch while the other 3 stand flush or even proud a tad they click nicely too so maybe the failed buttons collapse inside |

They are not user serviceable, trust me, if it could be done I would have done it . |
Not everybody is a regular user, could you please upload a picture or two?
|
No, they are in the bin.

Said handles were removed, inspected for possible repair, conlusion was they not repairable, they were then transferred to the bin, which was collected by Waveney council. Once collected I can only guess that they ended up in the landfill which they use. I don't know the location of said landfill but I'm sure if you contact them directly they will be glad to tell you where it is. +++ http://www.eastsuffolk.gov.uk/waste/...-and-disposal/ |
I've had a word with East Suffolk disposal services. They are very polite but a bit dim. It took a while for them to get their heads round my simple request. Anyway after what sounded suspiciously like ill suppressed laughter they told me that they were happy for me to look for the said door handles, but first I need to obtain a doctors note testifying that I represent no risk to the public in general and their workers in particular. I'll let you know how that goes.
Anyone got a metal detector I can borrow? |

http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1502269033 so far the PPE has only cost £8.24 hard hat, £26.50 overalls, £24.19 boots, £3.42 glasses, £15.90 for gloves, so still a clear tenner under a new one. |
Lololol
Nobody else with an old doorhandle? |

one of the guys just shouted "RESULT" we all thought it had been found but.....
http://forum.a8parts.co.uk/attachmen...1&d=1502270802 Though it is a keyless type |
|
I have two in my parts drawer at home, both working AFAIK. One is used bought from a breaker, the other is new but has a scuff on the "chrome".
I wouldn't suggest cutting either of them up :ROFL: |

I am certified and at home on weekend leave.
Is that sufficient for your needs, Nick? Gwen and I have rather damp underpinnings now, it really hit our funnie spots. |
Well I got my certificate (Thanks Ray) donned high vis and rocked up at the tip, or should I say dig.
I should have known, the car park was rammed with some of the shiniest A8 & S8's on the planet, and the landscape awash with busy shovels and bleeping metal detectors. The lads on the gate where happy as Larry and charging for entry. I tried to explain that this was an official door handle recovery operation but they weren't having it and I had to pay a fiver to get in. Anyway, to update. Hours of digging and sifting have left me with a sore back, two computers (broken), three compliments on my spade wielding, four candles and five hundredweight of assorted bottle tops and empty crisp packets, and a toaster. Despite several cries of joy from other diggers the handle has yet to be found. I now depart somewhat discouraged and leave the ongoing mission to discover parts unknown, to the rest of you. Good luck |
Back on topic, I was reading the latest posts at AS8.ru and spotted one member had stripped the handle, cleaned and replaced the PCB button from a Mercedes. Although I think any high quality momentary push button would work.

For anyone who wants to repair a close button on a doorhandle.
Here is the how to. |
Thanks for uploading that
|
I have now replaced all 4 of these handles on my car and so have the four originals going spare. Two, I think are worn/leaking, and the other two OK. They were all working when they came of the car, except when wet when two of them became flaky.
Are they any use to anyone? |
