#255 of 291 Windshield Wiper Storage Position by king_mtb Jan 09, 2009 (11:13 pm)
The windshield wipers on my 99 Passat work fine when they are turned on (slow, fast, int., etc.) they also have full range of motion. However, when I turn the wiper switch to the off position the blades do not store in the down position...they store in the middle of the windshield instead. Everything is tightened down, the blade arms do not need adjusted, and they do operate correctly when on. I have read on other forums that 1. there is a bad ground 2. the wiper motor needs replaced 3. there is a cam inside the housing that needs to be bent back into its correct location. Has anybody else had this problem? If so what was the solution?   thank you =)

Hi . . New here . .Good site. My Passat is a 2001 sedan manual 1.8T with 124.000 on the clock. I have electrical probs. Started with a blown fuse for power windows. Now have no power to sunroof, cant use remote door lock, cant use any windows, no internal lights. When i take key out of ignition, both indicator lights on dash flash, when I take out the 10 amp window fuse, they stop . .!  I can drive the car, but cant use windows . . Anyone got any ideas, Think its a mechanics job. Cheers Steve

Hi, I have a 99 VW Passat and am experiencing electric problems. The only window that works is the driver's, all 3 others don't work. The door locking system is not working, as well as the alarm. The last issue I found is that I can't open the gas cap door, since the button doesn't work. Is there a way to open the gas cap without using the button? Also, any idea on how to fix all these electric problems? Thanks! Replies to this message: monkswimming (Mar 21, 2009 5:00 am) slvmart (May 07, 2009 2:15 pm)
#259 of 291 2002 Passat 1.8t Driver Door open signal by chipper3 Jan 27, 2009 (4:48 pm)
My Driver door open signal came on after the doors locked. It went off when I got on the highway and it started back five minutes later with all the bells and whistles. Does this have anything to do with the with my remote key access? This problem started after the panic button was pushed on the remote key access. Help.

#260 of 291 Electrical Nightmare by kopspassat Jan 30, 2009 (5:28 am)
I have a 2001 Passat. The battery was 6 months old - bought it at Pep Boys - car wouldn't start one day. VW said not to use their battery but a VW battery, so they put in a new battery. Starts OK, but when I apply the brake the dashboard lights and the headlights flicker. Also, when I start out and the automatic door locks lock, the dashboard lights flicker off and then come back on, but dimmer.   Don't want to spend thousands on repair at VW looking for a wire. They said it was not the alternator and that I just needed a new battery, but these problems still occur. Anyone else have this problem and have you had it repaired, if so what did they do?

Replying to: chipper3 (Jan 27, 2009 4:48 pm) Hey - Did you ever get answer to your post? I have the same Passat. My (driver's side) Door Ajar light and annoying beeeeeep just started going off for no reason last night and still is doing it today - while I'm driving, with the doors shut/locked... didn't hit the panic button though, that's the only difference. Dont remember doing anything to cause it actually...
#262 of 291 Having window trouble, 98 Passat by lucky_charms Feb 11, 2009 (11:50 am)
Hi everyone! I have a 98 Passat and an electrical problem to go along with it. My windows go down all by themselves, even at night and when the car is sitting in a parking lot. My doors try locking themselves while I am driving too. I tried pulling each fuse to take power from the doors, but none of the fuses seem to be for my windows. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Replying to: lucky_charms (Feb 11, 2009 11:50 am) If I were you, the first thing I'd check is to see if the CCM (comfort control module) is wet/corroded. The CCM is located under the carpet under the right front passenger's footwell. Passats have a known isuse with water intrusion into the passenger compartment from clogged water drains in the air plenum under the hood (the area where the battery sits). The water gets in through the ventilation intake. GL!
#264 of 291 Tint window and radio reception issue 08 Passat Turbo by greatcars Feb 16, 2009 (9:54 pm)
08 Passat Turbo, element antenna. window tinted on sides and back winshield with Llumar ATR 30 film.   My radio, especially AM band, has bad reception and pitch noise especially when turning and putting/moving foot from brake. I suspected there is poor connection between the radio and antenna. Dealer checked twice and said the tint is possibly causing the problem since their test found no problem with radio itself. I checked on the web and found it's possible.   http://www.tintdude.com/totw92.html   Now assume the tint is the culprit, how can I fix this? I can't figure it out on the back glass which is the defroster and which is the antenna among the many grid of thin lines. The tint shop does not have much better knowledge on this part and it would be worse if they mess this up. Replies to this message: tigerroars (Mar 21, 2009 11:47 am)
