Default S4 power door locks quit

2000 S4 Power Door locks including keyless remote, drivers button lock/unlock quit working. Remote doesn't even get the horn beep or lights to flash. Any ideas?

Push the buttons and go to the trunk i have an a4 an in the trunk on the right side behind the panel is the motor for my locks it should have two blackskinny hoses that go into the locking motor. they might have just came loose. but before u go in the trunk turn ur car on an make sure it works manually with the buttons on the door. if they work then it just might be the batteries in ur key, go to radio shack and buy two new batteries and sync the locking mechanism.

Thanks for the info. Do you have to pull the entire side panel off to get at it from inside the trunk? I checked the fuses #6 and twenty something, andthey were fine.I listened for the pump/vacuum to operate when I pushed the unlock button but nothing.

The battery in the remote might be dead. I would start there.

reprograming the remote

Door button doesn't work either. Manually unlocking the doors from the drivers key won't lock/unlock the rest of the doors.

You can Vag-com it for codes on the locking system. You might also want to check the fuses. You may just have a dead door lock pump, it's in the trunk on the passenger side.

I'm in NE Tacoma - you know any shops that don't charge to much to plug it in around here?

No sorry, I go over to Redmond & Seattle for car work. I do have a Vag-com, but don't have much time this week, maybe on the weekend I can help you out.
