95 passat and electrical, power windows, heater, AC intermittently not working

It sounds like this is a common issue with the passat's and it electrical issues. Is there a board or electrical harness that was faulty? Anyone else know of this and how one best could repair? Or is it the usual electrical nightmare tracing the issue. Any help would be appreciated.

    The car runs great. The power windows, stereo, speedometer and all of that just is not working. Does anyone know what this is or can provide some assistance?

The AC fuse just broke, if not so check the fusible links. I don't think there's a short circuit no.

check all the fuses on the fuse panel (located on the end of the dashboard). Behind the plastic door, drivers side. Then see if all the windows will go up and down; locking and unlocking the door with the key in the door lock. You have to hold the key in the unlock position to make this option work.

Well, your local garage is correct. Most cars now a days have computers for everything. That is one computer that runs those things. But before you go into replacing an expensive motor, go through and get a wiring diagram from your local parts store, and then see where the wiring all have in common, this may only be the computer, but may be a fuse of some sort. hope that helps.

SOURCE: power windows not working on a 99 Passat

Hi,

The door panel comes off with a T-10 torx or a Hex (Allen) wrench that will fit and a large Philips Screw Driver.. Remove the Plastic cover on the inside Door handle and the screw or screw along the bottom of the door panel. Then remove the screws that hold the handle the the door.They are located behind the plastic plate you removed with a tiny screw driver earlier. Be careful not the mark up the cover whaytprying it up. It is best to pry from underneath. After this 4 screws are out . The Use of a clip tool is best for getting behind the panel to pop it off, screw driver will work. After all the clips are released. Pull the light at the bottom of the panel down and out. Disconnect it or push it back thought the hole it came from. Now you need a 10mm socket, or wrench to remove the 12 bolts that hold the metal plate to the door. Remove all the 10mm bolts, if the window has not already fallen in the door it should be released by removing the black 2" plugs. Then loosen the bolts that clamp the window with the arms. Do not loosen them all the way.Disconect all the wiring. The Door lock cable,can be a pain. I think it pulls down.Next remove the metal plate,that is the regulator. Reverse these steps again to install it.

thank you !!

1999 Chevrolet Malibu just purchased with 90,804 miles on it. Heater fails to turn on, then intermittently after driving 15-20mins. While heater is inoperative, rear window defrost, AC & all power...

Wild guess a loose wire but occasionally hits the connection or shorts to a hot (12vdc) supply. Or a bad wire to "connector" connection. Intermittent problems are hard to solve. You will need to look carefully at the related controls and location to see if you can find what I describe. It is possible the problem is elsewhere in the wiring system. Just takes time to hunt down. Just purchased? from dealer? I'd take it back ask them to "hunt".
If from individual, that's probably why you got a "good?" deal. I'd still go back and ask them to fix, "nicely". You may get lucky and be able to find the problem. Sounds like issue is on the supply to the switches for all the problem devices. Could be as simple as a fuse or connections to this "circuit" to and or from the fuse. I'd start first with the fuse that serves this circuit. Fuse cover should tell you which fuse is for what device/s.
Hope this helps and it turns out simple.

Intermittent loss of power to the AC/heater controls

This is quite common and is caused by dry solder joints in the back of the heater control unit, you will most likely find that when they stop working if you go over a bump they may come back on, You need to remove them and either yourself or someone who is handy with electronics needs to re-solder whee the internal plug connects to the circuit board inside the heater controls.

The windshield wipers, the power windows and the heat/AC stopped working at the same time on my '95 ford Escort.

based on what I see in the ford electrical manual. The ignition switch is the only thing the windows, wipers and heat have in common. I would test for power at the black and red wire with the key on. If there is no power I would replace the switch.

Power windows and heater control don't work

Did you check the fuses in the fuse box? In the engine compartment. For windows. Take off the driver/passenger side interior door panel. Turn ignition to the on position, don not start car. Use a volt meter or a electrical probe. Check for current to controls. Then check for current at the connectors. You can do the same for the heater. But first check fuses. Also check if there are any inline fuseable links burnt out to the units.

Power windows and ac/heater went out.

Sounds like some major wiring issues', Does the Car not get driven much? If a mouse got in the engine compartment its very possible that they could've chewed threw the wires, Check the Fuses, and also the connections in the Fuse Block and at the connections to the accessories, then also check the relays, if nothing shows up either in the engine compartment or in the passenger compartment you will have to go through the wiring harness'

No power to Horn, lights, blinkers, ac and heater on 99 Passat V6

It could be your convenience control module. I had issues with my interior lights, alarm, windows, etc. All of that is controled by the ccm. In my car, 1999 passat sedan, it was located under the driver's feet. So I pulled up the carpet and the wire splices going into it were corroded. So I cut them and respliced. Problem solved.
