Automotive - 2000 VW Jetta Electrical Problem


Expert: Sean Halliday - 9/11/2008

Question
My power windows will not lower or raise, I have no interior lights and the heated mirrors are not working, my key lock won't work and I cannot open the trunk.
I cannot tell if it is a fuse or an electrical problem.  Also, my cruise control stops on it's own and will not work until the car is restarted!  What can you tell me.  Oh I had the engine replaced 2 weeks ago...these problems happened in the last few days.  The cruise control problem started the day after the engine was replaced.

Answer
Sounds like a mountain of problems so,i would take the car back to whoever replaced the engine as i would be guessing where to start with this one.I have no idea what they did or didnt do.They could have crossed wires,wrong connections or loose connections.The wiring loom is so complex its a maze and not possible to diagnose without looking first hand.
