My 2000 Newbeetle just started multiple failures! No headlamps, no A/C or heat (fan not working), no turn signals, horn, wipers...
Is there some relay that controls all these items? Is it an ignition switch problem? I checked the fuse blocks (door jam and battery cover) with no faults found.
An help would be appreciated.
Thanks Eric

:banghead: Problem is the ignition switch and connector. A loose connection caused heat, melting switch and connector. It almost looks like the wire bundle was a bit short causing the connector to be pulled when steering column is adjusted (up ans down).:screwy:What were they thinking when they designed this electrical nightmare!
The connector and switch can be accessed by removing cover on left side of steering column (drivers left).
