VW Jetta Electrical Problems

I recently purchased a 2001 Jetta 1.8T for my daughter. Last week she left the lights on for about 20 minutes and it wouldn't start. Thought it may be a weak battery. Today, it wouldn't start at first, the clock reset and then started with no problem. Later in the day, she was driving and all electrical just cut out completely for a second or two. Car started back up and the EPC, MIL and generator lights came on.
I went to look at it, and everything started ok with no warning lamps.
Any ideas???

Let me know!
Thanks!
wondering if anybody has any idea concerning why i keep blowing the fuse for my low beams. my left low beam light goes out, but both high beams work. i have replaced the light bulb and many fuses. when i first put in a new fuse the high beam sign on the dash lights up and won't go away even though the high beams aren't on....at this point i can't even switch my lights onto high beam. but then after a little while, the left headlight goes out--at which point both high beams begin working again. this is the only fuse that has blown.
also, my wipers won't work properly. they will work when put on the delay setting, but won't work at normal speed. i have to manually hold the switch in place if i want it to function properly.
just wondering if there are any basic things i could do to remedy these situations.
thanks kindly.
I also notice that my alarm went off from time to time.
Do I have electrical system problem ? Please help.
Thanks.

i am having a some what similar problem like you, i have a 1999 Jetta 2.0 and after i get out of my car and hit the lock button, the horn honks but the door does not lock, i can see the blinking light on the door but the latch remains up and the door can be opened
does anybody know what could be causing this sort of problem and any possible solutions?, me and gemini would greatly appreciate it
thanks
Your help's appreciated. Cheers.
I just bought a used 2000 Jetta 2.0 Automatic. I disconnected the battery cable to clean some corrosion off the terminal. After reattaching the cable, the alarm was activated. If I open a door, try to start the car or perform any action, the alarm sounds. It honks for about 30 seconds and then quits. The car came with only one key without a remote, and of course no owners manual. Anybody have any ideas?

We went on vacation the end of April and when we came back after 10 days the battery was so dead the lock light wasn't even flashing. Clock reset as well as odometer. Jumped it and took it to repair shop, they of course couldn't find anything wrong. No battery problems since.
In addition over the past three years I have replaced at least 8 brake light bulbs and both head lights.
There has to be some way to find these problems

wondering if any mechanics out there can give me a lil help here,
i've recently been told that my camshaft sensor on my 99 Jetta is shot, and my engine light keeps coming on.when we checked it on the computer it said "camshaft sensor A performance range".....?...... my mechanic said that it is emmiting a weak signal so it should be replaced, does this sound right to you mechanics out there?
my mechanic has told me that it is $85 CDN for the part and its going to take him 3 hours worth of work, so its going to cost me a total of 370 CDN with taxes+labour.does this sound about right?
this may seem like a dumb questions but how important is the camshaft sensor? am i paying to much or am i getting a deal here? i just wanna make sure that my mechanic is jerking me around.
thanks for your help in advance
:sick:
i can take the cover off where the dials are, but as far as that i have no idea, can someone give me a little insight on how i can replace the bulb behind those dials i can't seem to find it in my manual
thanks in advance
Recently I purchased a 1999 Jetta through an auction. I am experiencing a problem with the alarm system. While the alarm is disengaged it will engage with a beep of the horn while driving down the road. I'm wondering if this could possibly be connected to the automatic door locks, as they dont work. Could it have something to do with the switch? I'm stumped and after reading some of the other issues I wonder what I've gotten myself into.
Speaking of fuses, does anyone know where you can find a cross reference to those fuse symbols? Very few are obvious to me what they stand for.

i have a 1999 Jetta, and whenever ig et out of the car and go to arm the door with the keyless entry, the car "honks" and arms but the drivers door latch doesnt go down, i have to press unlock then lock again for it to go down, i thought it might be the remote but i to lock it with the key and does the same thing
anyone have this problem and possibly a solution for it
any help is appreciated
thanks
Before I call the Ghost Hunters - does anyone have a reasonable explaination for this or how I might remedy this problem (Preferably without taking it to a dealer.)
Thanks
I know the radio needs to be reset too. Can that only be done by the dealer?
i have the exact same problem. is there a fix for this?
Can anyone tell me what I can do?
I didn't know having a foriegn car would be this difficult...LOL :confuse:
oh yeah .. my car started acting out in the winter (other problems not the above issue)
has anyone heard of the california cars? because i had no problems until the winter season hit
