Rear hatch lock problem on 2000 Golf

Ok, so, any of you folks had a problem with the electric rear hatch locking
mechanism? Key works fine. All other locks work. This is my son's car, 500
miles away. He took out the motor and it works with applied voltage. He's
trying to find the relay that controls it without success.
Anyone?

Thanks Madesio,
Just where is the relay panel, by the fuse box? I have a 2000 TDI and I
don't recall a power key unlocking of the hatch, I don't know about the gas
ones tho.

The relay you're looking for is in the number 2 position on the relay
panel. Should have the number 79 on it. Also, this car may have a key
switch to allow power unlocking of the rear lid. Make sure this is on
if it is equipped with one.
