This issue also indicates a bad lock actuator.
Vw passat door lock actuator removal.
Locks work from the switch but not the remote.
The door lock works in only one direction.
Loosen this off and it should allow you to remove part of the door handle.
All the instruction indicate i m to loosen two nuts to release the window but i don t see any nuts.
When where needed.

I m trying to replace the door lock actuator on a 2006 volkswagen passat value edition.
The battery is likely dead and needs to be replaced but the remote s may also need to be reprogrammed to work.
If this happens the problem is with the remote.

The actuator can now be removed.
I have a picture.
In this video i have a vw s rear door panel removed while the door is locked and the lock actuator which is on deadlock released.
Once removed this gives you access to remove the cable from the door handle.
