SOURCE: serious electrical problems wiv vw golf mk4 gti turbo yr 2000

I had a VW rabbit that developed mad electrical problems. It started when one day the headlights remained on and would not shut off. It turned out that a $2.00 gasket for the antenna wire had failed. This allowed road water from the wheel well to leak onto the fuse box. In time the fuse panel corroded and shorted out. I had to replace the fuse box twice and use rubber epoxy to seal the leak.
Check all fuses and electrical wiring for signs of shorts or corrosion.

Plip battery spent

You remote (plip) needs new battery: CR 0523 (3V).

After a change of battery, it may be necessary to re-initialise the remote control. To do that, switch on the ignition and immediately press "lock" button on your remote control to trigger the action desired. This may take some ten seconds.

I have a golf 5 2005 model. I cannot lock or unlock the drivers door with the remote and the indicator light on mirro of the same door doesnt show. The problem happens sometimes on the front left door....

Check the wires in between the door and the chasis. Remove the rubber insulation and check for broken wires. This is a common problem. I also have a Golf 5 and recently same thing happened on my deriver side. Onces I resoldered the wires and insolate them seperatly so that no open wires are visible, I reconnect and the alarm + door worked with the remote.
