there is a little switch (button) on the inside of the door frame that tells the car when the door is open the easiest way to find it is to open your door and make sure that the domew light is on then start starting at the the top work your way down past the door hinge and look for any small round buttons if you push it and the dome light goes off you have found the right one. good luck I had the same problem with my 2001 VW Jetta 4 door, the switch that tells the car that the door is open is located inside the door latch. I found this out when I had to replace the door latch. I hope this helps you out.

How do you open the rear door on a 2003 Volkswagen Jetta that won't open from the inside and outside?

If the rear door on your 2003 Volkswagen Jetta won't open from either the inside or outside, it may be due to a faulty latch or a problem with the locking mechanism. First, check if the door is locked; if it is, try using the key or remote to unlock it. If it's still not opening, you may need to remove the interior door panel to access the latch mechanism and manually operate it or inspect for any broken components. If you're not comfortable doing this, it may be best to consult a professional mechanic.
