Hey i have a 96 A4 2.8Q, it has that convenient feature of heated door locks so your not frozen outta your car, except after driving, my door lock gets extremely hot to the point where it would hiss if rain or snow hit it. is there a fix for this? should i just disable the heated lock feature? and how do i disable it? anyone else have this happen to them?

 

hahaha! why'd you touch it?

 

Thats kinda impressive, I'd definately have someone check it out, or figure out how to disable it. I can't even tell that mine are heated, except for the fact that they work all the time (good to -12 degrees this last week)... however I don't ever touch it with my hand.

 

Are the heated locks only on the cold weather package cars?

 

hahahaha sorry but like watching someone trip and fall its a little amusing.

 

hmm i dont know im not familiar with this feature but ask an audi tech if its suposed to heat up that much.

 

yea i think i would have that looked at before your door lock sets your car on fire

 

lol why did you car blow up?

my locks overheated.

 

lol mine didnt blow up but that would be just my luck lol

 

If it's an electrical component and it's generating too much heat, it's most likely a shorted circuit somewhere.
