I HAVE A 2000 JETTA WITH A 2.0 ENGINE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT WHEN I PUT THE KEY IN THE DOOR LOCK TO UNLOCK THE DOOR AND IT UNLOCKS IT. WHEN I OPEN THE DOOR AND PRESS THE LOCK/UNLOCK BUTTON ON DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOOR, IT DOES NOT WORK. ALSO I CANNOT OPEN THE TRUNCK WITH THE BUTTON ON THE DOOR. WHEN THIS HAPPENS I JUST GIVE THE DOOR A WHACK NEXT TO THE KEY HOLE ON THE DOOR, AND IT WORKS FINE FOR WHILE AND THAN ITS STARTS TO DO IT AGAIN. COULD IT BE THE LOCK MODULE?

If it works when you bang on it, remove the trim panel, and on the lock is a micro switch, it's either bad, or a wire to it is not fully secured.
