#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)

Replying to: jsingli (Jan 25, 2009 8:22 am) Hi, I was just wondering if you found out what is wrong with your car I have all those same problems plus my sunroof opens on it's own while driving, super fun here in Canada!!! My back drivers side window doesn't go down, my gas cover doesn't open my trunk button doesn't work, my doors do not lock and cruise control doesn't work. I have to pull really hard on the gas cover to make it open, I am sure I am going to break it soon. I have changed many fuses and the comfort control module under the drivers seat ($1000) later still nothing. Any suggestions???

Replying to: greatcars (Feb 16, 2009 9:54 pm) i had the same problem, but i did not have any tint. i would even happen when using the cd player. VW had to replace my radio.

Replying to: jsingli (Jan 25, 2009 8:22 am) you have a b5 platform VW while I have a 1997 VW Passat TDI, which is called a B4. On my vintage Passat this was typically a problem with the wiring that ran between the chassis and the doors. The wires would fatigue and break causing the windows, and potentially other items, to stop working.
#268 of 291 2006 VW Passat fuse problem by viejachula May 13, 2009 (9:52 am)
Boy! My husband's going to kill me!!   I just purchased a used Passat, and my phone charger stopped working when I plugged it into either the front or back outlet. I thought it was the charger, ruled that out. I purchased new fuses, and attempted to go thru the fuse box with my owner manual in hand, to see where the fuse was for the plug outlet. I saw that the fuses in the car were all apparently good, but there were fuses in places where the book did not list them, and other fuses missing from places that the book said they should be.   Without checking with my husband, I foolishly proceeded to go fuse by fuse, with the manual, and removed fuses from the car, and put them where the manual said they should be. Problem! Now my car won't start! Worse, yet, is that I did this on both left and right fuse boxes, but at least I didn't touch those under the hood.   Now, I called my husband and told him, and I don't even know where to start to correct the mess I've created! Shame on me for trying to do something I know nothing about.   Any ideas what to do now to fix this?   Go ahead and chastise me, I fully understand!!
