Door handle touch sensors not working

I have a 15 Passat TDI SEL premium and my passenger door was replaced. Now the passenger handle sensors to lock and unlock aren’t working, which is also preventing me from remote starting the car. The handle is getting power. Is there a relearn or reset procedure? I cleared the codes with vcds and they immediately return. I’ll post the output when I back on my computer.

What codes?


I had a sensor get unplugged once, and that borked the system ... code took me right to it though ...

OK, so looks like either a dead sensor or harness break . . . Possibly door module coding if the party that replaced it was sans-clue on that part of the process . . .
