Help turn off GTI "door ajar" light!

Our recently restored '05 GTI has been a breeze to fix up and great to cruise. But we still cannot figure out how to turn off the door ajar light. We're think that it could be in the wiring to the back hatch, but aren't sure. Has anyone had any experience with this and how to fix it?

i am currently having the same problem in my 2003 jetta, if i hear in anything or figure anything out i will be sure to tell u. does your door ajar bell go off as well?

Check you third brake lamp wiring to the trunk latch. there is a short at the latch more likey ther is bad conection from water and the switch is bad. check that first.

Remove your hatch inner cover panel. Check the connector for the hatch latch may be corroded. You may need three new connector leads and possibly a latch assembly to repair if this is the case.

Golfert87 probably needs a drivers door lock actuator unit? Wink

Have the codes checked to see which one. Too expensive to guess! Usually the microswitches fail!

Don't know if the problem is solve. But check the wiring on the back hatch. See if the wires are touching each other. if yes then its shorted the wire thats why the light won't turn off.
