2000 Jetta electrical issue - panel lights shut off and back on suddenly

Bad switch,Here's a link to a new one. http://www.autozone.com/electrical-and-lighting/windshield-wiper-switch/duralast-windshield-wiper-switch/chrysler/town-country-2wd/2008/6-cylinders-3-3l-mfi-ohv/376765_0_0

well you can always reset the cars computer by simply unhooking the battery which will make all the lights go away, but if there is a problem with the car, they will come back on within an hour or two from unhooking the battery. but you may get lucky and they may stay off.

Washer fluid is probably frozen, have you checked the fuse for the wipers? There should be an overload protection in case the blades stick

HTH

sounds like they need to be re-adjusted

On your fuse panel, check the fuse that says ign.it is the 4th one back from the front and is a 40 amp fuse.

You must get the timing right

try the 10a fuse for the light inside,the symbol on the fuse panel is a light with a line on the top, it controls alarm and windows too

first try the fues box see if you have a blown fues, next if you put your wipers on can you hear the motor running for them? if you can the linkage has poped off from the motor, its a bit awkward to get it back on and no gaurentee that it will saty on, you might have to replace linkage, or, it might be the cogs on the actual wiper arms have splayed and are now smooth so they dont grip to move, you can take them off by the nut on the arm , get a can (coke can or simular) cut a rectangle out of it the hight and width if the cog, rap it round the cog, (make sure it does not overlap on the ends) and force the arm back into place and then do the nut up, this is just a short quick fix if that is the case you will have to replace the motor, also you can check the relay to the motor in the fues box, give it a tap a couple of times it might work again if not replace it...hope you find these sugestions helpful

The wipers are parking in the middle because the timing mechanism is off. Once they start doing this it seems to continue to happen so the 1st suggestion is to replace the wiper motor. If U don't want to spend the $ right now it's a pretty easy fix to reset the timing. Park the wipers & remove the wiper arms. Then remove the plastic cowling that covers the wiper motor & the motor assembly. Turn the wiper assembly over without turning the motor. Remove the nut on the arm of the motor. Repostion the arm pointing away from the closet wiper directly inline with the short arm. reassemble.

Hello
