The service technician could not duplicate the problem immediately but the headlamps would not go to bright. The problem occurred intermittenly between the first occurrance and the service appointment. I immediately contacted the auto repair shop that I use and setup an appointment for service three days later. I continued driving, when I signaled another right-hand turn the again the signal repeated the previous failure. After repeated attempts, the lights unexpectedly began working. Tried the left turn signal and the same thing happened. I signaled with my right turn signal for a right-hand turn, suddenly the turn signal stopped flashing (not the quick flashing & clicking for a burnt out bulb), the light stayed on. If they had done the correct thing, I wouldn't be left in an unsafe car to transport my family, due to their engineering design negligence. Informed him that the car was not safe to be driven with the lighting issues, and fuse f16 being tied into abs as well, was told he couldn't help me. Called Volkswagen customer service and spoke with doug, only to be told they could not authorize rental car reimbursement, and I would need to either shoulder that expense myself or continue driving the car in it's current state. Dealer is not able to look at my vehicle until 10/27/14 and cannot provide a loaner car since Volkswagen won't reimburse them for that cost.
2000 VW JETTA RED ALARM LIGHT NOT WORKING UPDATE
Called the only vw dealer in the city 10/23/14 and was told I had two safety recalls on my car, one for an ecm software update and one for this electrical issue, neither of which I was notified of, yet have been notified to have the "diesel only" sticker installed, and haven't moved since long before I purchased the car. After a quick internet search I became aware that this is a very common problem and known vw issue, and found f16 fuse to be melted along with a portion of the fuse box. Random security alarm going off without being able to turn it off, brake warning lights, traction control issues. Intermittent electrical problems from undetermined source for last year, ended up losing all lights on passenger side of car, and some lights/light function on driver's side, including brake lights, turn signals, headlights etc. The most common scenario is that the car has sat for hours I start it, and the lights are either messed up or working fine, and they stay that way until the car is turned off and started again.Īll problems of the 2014 Volkswagen Jetta But I work at night and live only one mile from my job, so I have not had this car on the road at night for any significant length of time. I turn the car off when I start it up again seconds later, the lights are messed up finally, the lights usually stay either working or are messed up while driving, but once in a while, they will go from working to messed up or vice versa while driving. � when I turn the lights off when the engine is running, they stay on � say I'm driving at night all everything is fine.
2000 VW JETTA RED ALARM LIGHT NOT WORKING DRIVER
� when the steering column lever is set to hb, all lights on the driver side are dead or, the hb bulb doesn't light at all and the lb bulb goes faint. � the turn signal dashboard light blinks fast - like there is a burnt-out bulb - but they actually flash fine. (We don't have the key fob that originally came with the car.) The red light was flashing all the time.In the following, lb/hb is low beam, high beam: � the dashboard indicator for hb is always on, even when the steering column lever is on lb and lights are really lb.


It would go off every time we turned over the ignition. We just bought a used 2000 Jetta and on the third day we had it the alarm went byzerk. Unlock driver side door (from outside, with key), then unlock trunk with key, go back to driver side and unlock all doors (with button inside the door) put key in igntion and turn over. I think the know they have made a lemon!!!! The 2000/02 VW's are bad cars and ive had nothing but troble with them + the dealers. Of course go back and close trunk and your off. Another thing that you could try and sucks, unlock driver side door, then unlock trunk with key, go back to driver side and unlock all doors(with button in the door) put key in igntion and turn over. Connect the positve cable back and you should have no problem. You wont hear the engine, just clicks but the last time you should hear a beep.

I have a 2000 Jetta with the same problems! You have to reset the computer by taking the postive cable off the battery, then turn the key in the ignition over 10 times one after another in like 2 sec each turn, then turn it over 1 last time and hold for about 5/10 sec. Found this on another site.figured it was worth the post
