Default HELP my locks are ****** up@@@@@@

right now my locks in my car wont work...not from the remote and not from the inside (only works with key)

i took apart my trunk to take out the motor...I hear it running but the locks are still not working, Is my motor broken even if i can still hear it trying to open the locks??

but the bigger problem from me is the gas door...its locked and i cant open it. My car is about to be on E. Can someone PLEASE tell me where the switch to open the gas door is...

Must be a leak in the system.. Its air controlled. Im pretty sure there is an emergency release for the gas door on the inside of the trunk.

Did you check behind the carpet on the wall that is opposite the gas cap/door? Do you have an owners manual???

There should be an emergency release behind the carpet on the gas cap side. I don't have my bentley with me now.

You can run a vag on the central locking system to check out where the problem might be.

Yeah my locks are broken also. You can get to the locking pin for the gas tank door just above where your pump is. My pump burned out becuase I had a faulty trunk latch, the pump makes a clicking nois when I try to unlock the car not sure if that helps you figure anything out but maybe. I would suggest doing the job yourself though its easy to replace the pump plus I picked a used one up from the junk yard for $75, much cheaper than the $475 or so the dealer will charge you.

Should still be good but don't let it keep running. What they told me about mine was that the pump will keep running for a long time to get the locks to work if you have a problem in the hoses or in my case the trunk latch and it will burn the pump up. What year is your Audi?
