MEGA 16v GLI M I replaced my ignition switch and I tried testing it before I finished installing the airbag and all the plugs to the windshield wipers. Now the car won’t start. I was reading my Bentley manual after the fact and it said “DO NOT connect the battery without the airbag and all plugs connected. Any ideas on how to reset? Thanks #1 · Nov 27, 2017 (Edited) I replaced my ignition switch and I tried testing it before I finished installing the airbag and all the plugs to the windshield wipers. Now the car won’t start.

Thanks Sort by Oldest first Oldest first Newest first Most reactions #2 · Nov 27, 2017 The mk3's don't have a immobilizer. Plug everything back up ( negative battery cable unhooked). Once that's done, hook the cable back up, close all doors and hood then arm the car and then unarmed it. Try starting the car now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk #3 · Nov 28, 2017 I tried all that and still no start. I can hear the starter relay click but no cranking. The battery is good. I cleaned all the cables. Somethings not right. Maybe the new ignition switch is bad. It’s weird that the manual described the warning about the air bags. I’m stumped. #4 · Nov 28, 2017 I would recheck that all your harness connectors are properly connected on the ignition switch side. I would also check terminal 50 on the starter for battery voltage when cranking the engine. If your not seeing 12v it could be a defective ignition switch Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk #5 · Nov 28, 2017 Btw What was the reason for installing a new ignition switch? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk #6 · Nov 28, 2017 I decided to replace the ignition switch because it works okays sometimes and other times I have to wiggle the key Or try multiple times to start the motor. I unplugged the ignition switch and plugged the old one back in and used a screw driver to twist start it. It started. You were right mr. loops. Thanks for the ideas. I got the starter switch from oreilly. It’s the import direct brand. Seems to be a decent brand in my experience with VWs. Nothing is better than genuine vw parts but sometimes you take what you can get. Maybe it blew the ignition switch when I connected the battery without having the airbag and wipers switches connected. I learned my lesson well. Never work on a car with the battery connected. Funny thing is that I actually disconnected the battery before a started taking everything apart for fear of the airbags blowing up in my face haha. #7 · Nov 29, 2017 Does anybody know how to reset the airbag light? #8 · Nov 29, 2017 Your going to need someone with a OBD2 scanner or VCDS tool Try your FLAPS- they might clear it for ya

When I turn the ignition on the car locks all the doors. If I try unlocking the doors with the powers lock switch on the center console nothing happens. It super strange. The driver window will not roll down, I have an extra drivers side door switch, I tried plugging it in and that didn’t help. The passenger window will only roll down my using the passenger switch. The drivers combi switch doesn’t work at all. I’m going to take apart the drivers door and see if a connection came lose or look for ground issues #10 · Dec 1, 2017 Okay so I found out my problems. I opened up the door wiring rubber boot and found some broken wires that somebody with no electrical experience had tried to fix. I soldered and heat shrinked the wires. All problems are fixed now. She’s golden! 0 Reply #11 · Dec 1, 2017 [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Insert Quotes Post Reply
