I HAVE A 1994 vOLKSWAGEN gOLF, YESTERDAY MY HUSBAND TOOK BATTERY OUT AND HAD TO PUT NEW ONE IN AND NOW THE CAR WILL NOT START AND HAZARDS ARE STAYING ON. iT HAS A VDO ELECTRONIC SO i AM FIGURING THAT IS WHY IT IS NOT STARTING BUT HOW DO i FIX THIS.

Disconnect the Battery and Charge it as a STAND ALONE CHARGE (not connected to the car), You may have a bad ECU.

Most times that i have dealt with that problem fixing cars it was the ignition control module. You might want to start there.

cud be a bad connection-are cables tite from batt to starter-r they clean--make sure inline fuse is workin-its next to positive cable--inspect wiring on car for flaws--may need new relay etc--get car scanned

Look in yourowners manual for unlocking security alarm. I believe on these you need to put key into drivers door and turn to the left and hold for a second or 2. Try it. Good Luck, JERROD

battery was improperly installed. ECM (electric control monotor)/(on-board computer) needs to be reset.

ya could have bad wires

check for vacuum leaks and clean the throttle

imobilisor problem

Yes, by connecting the charger the wrong way round you have damaged the rectifier in the alternator, now needs a replacement

Hi,

Most Golf and Jetta have their relays bunched together with the fuse block. Often, it would be inside the fuse box/compartment located under the facia panel, on the right-hand side, behind a removable cover. On most models, the flasher relay would be labeled 21.

Incidentally, sometime ago, there was a recall on some Golf where Volkswagen dealers will install a new hazard flasher switch/relay kit to remedy a common issue. You may want to try first Volkswagen at 1-800-822-8987.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.
