A couple of months ago, my 90 went into a full
lockdown mode - it would do everything it could to
keep all doors locked all the time. You could use the
key to open the driver's door, but the moment you
relaxed turning pressure on the key, all doors would
relock. You could manually open doors from the inside
by lifting the lock button at each door.

After a full circuit trace proved everything intact, I
replaced the drivers side servo with the associated
genuine VW wiring harness. Now everything  works but
the drivers door. You can lock and unlock all doors
-including the drivers- from the passenger side,
normal operation. But on the drivers side its as if
locking was manual - no other doors respond.

I'll start retracing the circuits, but thought that
someone with more perspective might use the new
symptoms to figure out what bonehead error I might
have made.

After twelve years, two doorlock servos, three power
window regulators  maybe goin on four, and currently
dead electric mirrors I'm begining to think a
conversion to 100% manual operation might be the best
way to get me through the next decade :) .

Thanks for any ideas

Tom F.
