2002 A4 window lock button stuck

My window lock button is stuck on. I can only roll the windows down by doing it from the drivers side, however the bummer is my driver window is also locked?? This all started when I pushed the lock button for the first time.... Any ideas on how to unlock it?

SOURCE: audi a4 1995 central locking problem

Hi there.
I had exactly the same problem and there are 2 ways of solving it. The first is to pay your Audi Service Centre £350-£550 to replace it for you and the second way is to do it yourself which will cost well under £100 (depending on ebay). Firstly check the Central Locking Pump to make sure the hoses haven't come off. This is located in the very back right hand corner of the boot so you will need to remove the carpet and internal trim and you will see a block of sponge. Carefully lift the top off this and you will see the pump sat inside it.
Actually there is a great set of photos online to help you and I will add the link for you at the end. If the hoses are still connected and not leaking it is very likely that the internal compressor wheel has shattered (quite a common fault). I believe it is possible to open the pump and replace this wheel (in fact there is one for sale on a very popular auction site at the moment) but my own preference was to simply buy a whole new pump and replace that (£16.00 + £8 p+p off the same auction site).
The most important thing for you to remember is that when you look to buy a replacement pump you need to find one with the EXACT same serial number. The one in the diagram shown is
8LO 862 257 N but I have a sneaky feeling yours might end in an A.
Anyway, I hope this is of some help and dont worry about the connections as both air connectors and all 3 electrical ones are different sizes and will only fit in one place each.
Good luck.
Rik

SOURCE: i have an audi a4

This is a common problem with your shape A4, pre 2001 A4s and old shape A6s. Rain water builds up in the area under the bonnet where your battery is. This can be accessed by removing the long black trim under the windscreen covering the battery. This area has two drain holes with small rubber tubes on it, these tubes get blocked over time by leaves, dirt etc. They need to be unblocked, and the tubes can be completely removed (and left off). This is much easier to do underneath the car but at least one can be done from the top. Its under the battery though. Be aware when you disconnect the battery, you will lose your radio coding.
It needs to be done though as if the water is coming in the car then it must be high. The water has most likely damaged your convenience control unit (electronic control unit) under the carpet of the footwell, this controls the failed electrical items you described. The water can cause further problems, electrical as it submerges the battery! And brakes as the brake servo can **** the water in causing many problems! Well worth getting it out sooner rather than later. Hope this helps and hasnt scared you too much. Good luck

Hello, I have a 02 A4 and my window problem is hard to explain, if I sit in the passenger seat I can't roll my window down, only the drivers side window can roll the windows down, but the actual drivers...

that is a safety feature to stop children playing with windows. On my Lexus ES330, there is a button just ahead of the driver's 4 button window control. It controls whether passengers can use windows or not on the other three doors. Consult your manual

Page 55 and 56 refers to it as a child safety switch, it is marked 'S' on the diagram and is behind your 4 switches on the right.

Child safety switch is pressed in, the
When the safety switch 'S' in the switch lights up. The window switches in the rear doors are deactivated.

Window lock stuck in on position

You are totally confussed here and i suggest you ask a local mechanic to have a look for you ,you may need a new switch mechanism on the door from the sound of it ,these cars can be a bit funny as if you hold the key in the door lock in the open position for a few seconds then the window opens or closes depending on the key movement ,and guess what its all electronic so maybe its the switch mechanism thats had a heart attack in its dear sweet electronic brain causing your problem

Drivers side window will not roll down

Do you hear any humming when the button is pushed? or any noises? If you do, then the Regulator is broken, and will need replacement. I would recommend getting the part from the dealer, Aftermarket China parts are ****. (dorman)

2002 Nissan Altima windows roll down by themselves w/no key in

You need a body control computer, which controls the windows, door locks and other items. The new computer will have to be programed by a good imports shop or Nissan dealer.

2002 Nissan Xterra drivers power window wont roll down

Quite possibly yes...I would first check any relays and/or fuses just in case.  A few dollars for a fuse or relay is much cheeper than say $100.00 and a few hours of labor.  
You can purchase just the window motors from any major auto parts stores.  You can also purchase the window motor with the regulator.  The regulator is kind of like a rope and pulley system to lift the window up and down and the motor is attached to this assembly.  It is a little more expensive but I would change both.  I always change both just in case the regulator is bad and it isn't the motor.  You will have to remove the plastic interior of the door in order to change either the motor or the motor/regulator assembly.

Any questions, feel free to ask!
