I never officially found the answer. I replaced the alternator and the battery. It appears that the last 2 batteries I got from Sears were not a perfect match for the car. This time I replaced it with a Bosch battery for Pep Boys and have not had a problem since I did. If the problem returns I will be posting that here as well. All looks good.

int. lights behaviour and constant "ding ding" chime when car is started by filipe_g

has anyone experienced this?? (Jetta/yr 2000, 2.0 ltr, manual). the other day when i re-started my car after a brief drive/visit to a mall, the interior chime would not stop ringing even after putting on my seat belt. the interior lights would not go out (front centre lights + rear door lights etc). i had to manual turn them off, even though they should all fade out after a few seconds. Eventually, the interior chime did end, but only after about 2 minutes. also, if i now turn on my headlights, the headlight warning buzzer will sound and wont go off even while the car is running. it's torture driving around with your headlights on with this annoying buzzer. add to this, my key wont manually lock all the door locks as it used to (insert key in driver side door, turn key to lock all doors). also, my driver side lower door light wont go out.. it remains on no matter what. all this strange electical behaviour appeared at once. any ideas?? im stumped.

Battery drain that can't be explained.... by rosy1420

I have a 2001 Jetta 1.8T. About a year and a half ago I went through several very costly repairs and finally got my car back after a couple of months I began having a problem with the battery dying. I finally gave up on it and it sat for a year. I am now trying once again to get it up and running and the garage is having trouble diagnosing the problem. They have replaced the battery, but after 3-4 day the battery is completely dead. They have checked the output and it doesn't seem to have a power leak but it still ends up dying. I know that if I bring it to another garage they'll end up changing the battery again and I'll end up in the same place and this garage is willing to work on solving the problem (without additional cost) so I'm curious if anybody has any idea what it could be...any help would be appreciated.
