Good call Tom. The verification was spot on.

Jeez Tom! You make those track wiring diagrams look easy to understand! They still frustrated the heck out of me! But great job keep up the great work!

Wish I found this before work this morning but same exact thing on a 02 golf! Nice work on the process great video

Nice job on the diagnosis and verification.

I MUST SAY VERY TOP NOTCH VIDEO STRAIGHT TO THE POINT . I PERSONALLY DISLIKE LONG DRAWN OUT THOUSAND STEP PROCEDURE DIAGNOSTIC PATHS UNLESS YOU HAVING TO LEARN HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS OR SOME SPECIAL FUNCTIONS . PLEASE PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING AND THANKS AGAIN TOP NOTCH .

I would have made the wrong call nice job made me realize how important it is to check everything that makes something work

Top diagnosis bloke. Amazing what you can do with a test light.

When the wiring diagrams come out , you know there'll be no comebacks.

Thanks a lot for the video

Thanks bro now I don’t have to tow my car

That is a life saver for me , I had the same problem , THANKS.

Nice quick easy diagnosis Tom! Didn't even get your hands dirty :D

Excellent video. Thanks for sharing know-how on this stuff, Tom. I have a passat 2005 with a bit similar issues (the power to the left side turning signals won't disconnect, even when the ignition is off and the key is out) I suspect it has to do with the ignition switch (?) Your video anyway will be very useful in the troubleshooting. 🙏 Ps. Would those wiring diagrams possibly be available on the net? (I've found some, but none yet with the details I'm looking for..)

Exselecte diagnostic amigo nice video good tech

Sweet diagnosis and repair. FWIW, this may rank as one of the easier vehicles to steal! lol Thanks!

Great work Tom, do you work for a dealership or a VW specialist?

Thank you Tom. Good job. I appreciate your videos.

Awesome

Well done, Tom.

Excellent video Tom!

Nicely done Tom! 👍

On my 02 beetle 2.0 the 2 red wires have constant power like they pose to now the red black wire doesn’t light up with key on but when start it lights up then goes out and car dies that wire is suppose to stay hot while car is on until turned off correct??

Considering the year & mileage... it lasted quite a while!

We have an issue with our 03 passat, where the key works just fine, and feels normal to the turn, but when moved to the "Start" position it (in cold weather) tends to NOT engage the starter. Physically it feels like (just from watching your process), that we have an ignition switch issue. IS it the White (or black and purple connector) that would force you to get a new reprogrammed key/chip? Just trying to figure out if replacing the white switch would completely disable the car?

Great job. Tommy

Did you change the immobiliser chip and keys? Did you need to reprogram something? It would be nice to see such videos in the future ;)

Hell yeah, brother!

thanks Teacher/Lecturer

Good one Tommy 👍

Nice fix ,now I know to hot wire those vw 👌👍😂

Any link to this exact housing ????

Goodun Tommy! 👍🏻

Hi, can i ask where are you getting those wiring diagrams ? Thanks

Hello. I have a problem with my car the meter is not working and the indicators are also not working. At the same time the windows do not work. The car starts for seconds and then stops. The computer does not receive information from the car.passat b5 1.9 tdi 130 .thx

This just happened to my 2002 Passat wagon. Which dealership do you work at :-) !!!

very nice one tom. i would like to ask where did you get the wiring diagrams? is there any link where i can purchase wiring diagrams for the european and japanese cars? thanks a lot

I wanted to know if you can help with this. I have a 1999.5 VW Golf Automatic where I have no spark. Automatic transmission that was having issues before I parked the car about 1 year ago. Do have fuel; Also changed the crank sensor cause it seemed like it could be that but didn't work. I'm getting the following codes: P1300 Igniter Circuit Malfunction No. 1; P0725 Engine Speed Sensor Input Circuit Malfunction; P1857 Transmission Transfer Case Contact Plate 'C' Short Circuit To Ground, P1850 Brake Band Apply Solenoid Circuit. And a couple misfire codes: P0422, P0440, P0304. Would truly appreciate any help.

Broken cylinder key?

💙

Dude I could really use that Scamtic Maybe you could post a Link? Please,

I wonder how many folks made the mistake of ordering a switch without further diagnosis. I'm assuming they only supply both parts as a unit for that reason :)
