Replying to: vw27278 (Aug 15, 2006 9:12 am) While I'm glad you got a definitive answer, I'm sorry it cost so much to disconnect the Homelink. Do you how they did it? Replies to this message: vw27278 (Aug 15, 2006 10:18 am) altair4 (Aug 16, 2006 3:41 am)

Replying to: altair4 (Aug 15, 2006 10:07 am) To disconnect it, I think they just took the screw out which holds the visor onto the roof, and then disconnected something in there. But, I'm not totally sure. I would've done it myself if I knew how. I just didn't want to cause further electrical problems. Replies to this message: altair4 (Aug 16, 2006 3:41 am)

Replying to: vw27278 (Aug 15, 2006 10:18 am) If you are in need of a replacement and want something that looks OEM, consider this:   http://www.mikadotech.com/   It's a garage door opener that replaces the blank switch plate in the center stack. I don't have one (heh, I don't even have a garage!) but it looks pretty nice.

Replying to: jim97501 (Jul 19, 2006 9:22 am) Thanks to everyone on this thread for their experiences. I have the exact same problem with my 2003 Passat. The car has 54,000 miles on it. My mechanic replaced fuse #5 which then blew 2 days later. I replaced it myself and it blew again. I'm going to assume it's the Homelink causing the short. Has anyone seen anything else besides the Homelink that I should be looking at? Replies to this message: passatgirl (Aug 29, 2006 2:46 pm)

Replying to: nickb28 (Aug 22, 2006 6:46 am) Me again. Ja, I replaced fuse #5 and it held out for a good month. Then this morning POOF. Out again. I tried replacing the fuse again (just for the sake of A/C) but this time, no luck. I'm going to try the homelink disconnect solution. I'll keep you posted.
#16 of 291 97 Passat TDI Headlights,fan, wipers keep going out by jhuettman Aug 29, 2006 (6:03 pm)
I have a 1997 TDI with 52,000 mile. Recently my headlights, fan and wipers keep going out. It doesn't matter weather the head light switch is on or just on the daytime running light setting. The marker lights stay on. Everything works when I start the car but then they go after awhile. If I shut the car off they will go back on but then will go back out again. The lights seem to slightly dim down before they go out. Replies to this message: mike97passat (Feb 13, 2007 7:41 pm) mike97passat (Mar 07, 2007 8:02 pm)
#17 of 291 '97 ignition switch removal by jed456 Sep 08, 2006 (12:49 pm)
Hello,   Need to replace electrical portion only (not the lock portion).   Can it be done by removing the knee bolster for access to the contacts'(back)side of the switch? Or, do I have to pull airbag, strg. wheel, multifunction stalk, etc?   Thx, JED
#18 of 291 '95 Door Open Light On, but Door is Shut! by 95passat Sep 21, 2006 (9:34 am)
Hi- I have an older, but still great 1995 Passat GLX. Yesterday, the red dash board light icon was activated, indicating that the rear trunk or a car door was open. However, neither was the case! Further, I then noticed that when I tried to open and/or close the door lock with my key, only the front driver's side door would respond, instead of all doors locking or unlocking. Finally, I also noticed that the car clock was re-set to 12:00 each time I turned on the ignition. Any ideas?? A fuse issue as in other electrical problems or is it more sinister? THANKS.
#19 of 291 my experience by krzyss Sep 22, 2006 (5:24 am)
When clock was resetting in my 97 Passat it was because the battery was weak. If I were you I would check it.   Krzys Replies to this message: 95passat (Sep 22, 2006 7:01 am)

Replying to: krzyss (Sep 22, 2006 5:24 am) Hi Kryss & to any one else who read about my '95 Passat electrical problem:   First, thanks for your reply! Shortly after I wrote in, I ended up looking at my fuse box and discovered that fuse #21 was blown. According to my Passat manual, fuse #21 controls the dash lights, among other things, but is silent regarding the rear trunk lid. I replaced the fuse and all the problems I experienced were solved. I should have checked my fuses first, even before I browsed here. Even so, it is somewhat strange that the red icon dash light would shine when fuse #21 supposedly controls that circuit. The lesson for me & anyone else having an electrical problem: check your fuse box first!!!
