#263 of 291 Re: Having window trouble, 98 Passat [lucky_charms] by altair4 Feb 12, 2009 (7:53 am)
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: 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!!

Replying to: lucky_charms (Feb 11, 2009 11:50 am) I know how you can take power away from your windows, but then your doors will not lock with the key you will have to do it manually and your alarm system will not activate. If you open the doors, on the back ones there is a little rubber casing you can take it off and there will be two wire connectors. The big one which is usually black is the one you want to take off. This will take away the power fromthe door locks and the windows. The smaller one under it is for your speakers. You can leave that one in. I have a problem similar to this. When I lock my rear passenger door, the car will not recognize that it is locked. It makes the beep in the trunk, but eventually the alarm will go off. Also, when it is locked all of the dome lights blink, so I ended up just disconnecting the power for that door besides the speaker.
#270 of 291 Door Wirign and Alarm Problems by veedub4 Jun 01, 2009 (9:40 am)
I have a 1998 Volkswagen Passat Vr6. When I lock my doors using the key from the outside, it locks and makes the little beep. I noticed though that once I lock it, the dome lights start blinking and eventually the alarm will go off. I checked all of the wires that are in that litlte rubber boot thing you can see when you open the door, and they appear to be fine. I cant figure out what it is, so i currently have everything but the speaker in that door disconnected. I have heard that if you have an aftermarket stereo (which i do) that it may cause problems with your alarm system. I dont think this is the problem because I have always had it, and it never used to do this. Any help or suggestions? Thanks. -matt

Replying to: mole2 (Feb 25, 2007 1:43 pm) the gas lines on volkswagens tend to freeze easily. go to your local gas station and buy a bottle of i thinkits called heat. or heet. something like that. you pour it in your gas tank, adn it will unfreeze it and if thats the problem it should start right up.

Replying to: kksing (Dec 31, 2008 8:09 am) I have a 2000 Passat with the same problem. My turn signals would internittently stop working. I bought the relay switch but can't figure out how to remove the old one to replace it. Any ideas?
