Passat (B5) :: No Power To AC, Stopped Working While Driving
Aug 14, 2007
Driving down the road and the AC stopped working. It was like a power failure to the whole Heater/AC system. Been in the Sub for several hours. Drove home at 95 degrees, Car sat for a few hours, then started it up and .5 miles down the road, the AC Stopped.
The other thing I noticed is that the Controls on the Steering wheel do not work either. Cruse, Radio control and the Lights to light them up. Did the Visual Fuse Check and they all seemed to be okay...

Recently I was driving down the road in my 99 B5 1.8T AUTO and my power windows stopped working from all the interior switches. First thing I did was get out of the car and use the key to roll them down, which worked fine. Here is what I have tried/looked into so far:
- All fuses are fine except #14 which i replaced
- Swapped the master control switch in the drivers door
- Checked the wire harness under driver carpet and the ground wire for frays or breaks
- Checked the CCM connectors and board for anything burnt or damaged
I will also add that the locks work from the door switches and the power mirrors don't work as well.

I have a 2003 Passat 1.8T Wagon.
My passenger side, front window and lock stopped working. Once I cranked the AC and the car cooled a bit, the lock and window would work again.
Now, they have stopped working completely.

The rubber (insulator?) around the antenna mast was seriously compromised, I noticed, when it was removed for a car wash (an infrequent occurrence). The radio worked occasionally after that.
Then I had a minor water leak through the vent system due to a blocked drainage lip on the particulate filter. The floor was soaked, causing the alarm to go off without warning (now dried and working correctly), but the radio stopped altogether if i remember correctly.
Then the wipers stopped working when it rained (they worked when dry). Replaced the wiper motor, and lo and behold, the radio works again sometimes - when it's dry out. obviously, i need to replace the antenna mast. Will this correct it?

So I was on a road trip pretty far away from home on some winding roads in the mountains enjoying a new chip I put in my 1.8t and when I down shifted to 2nd, my car all of a sudden felt as if I went into neutral, needless to say, I wasn't, my clutch just stopped working. I can shift through all the gears, and nothing grabs, not even slightly, I don't hear any grinding or anything. It's just as if I'm in neutral. My clutch was pretty worn to start with, I've got 130,000 on an original clutch I just never had a clutch got out on me like that.

I was looking into the fuse box layouts and was trying to identify which one is for the 12v power outlets in the front area under the radio and the outlet in the arm rest. I believe its a 30 - 40 A fuse but need to identify exactly which one to replace since the outlets have stopped working.

I have a 2013 RX350 AWD, purchased new about 8 months old. Today for the first time, the navigation/audio system joy stick stopped working while I was driving. The display froze and then had just lines of pixels and very small font. Moving the joy stick had no effect. There was also no map displayed. The display was basically "messed up".
Once I got home, I turned of the car and then restarted. The display and joy stick was fine. I never saw this in all 8 months I've had the car. I am just about to schedule my 10,000 service.

Is there a possibility of the radio itself overheating causing this issue. I experienced this the other day, was driving around and the volume control on the radio no longer worked. Could turn it off and all other functions worked but the volume could only be changed from the tracer buttons on the steering wheel. Shutting the car off and back on worked but for how long? Seems that this should be a recall since several owners have experienced this issue with the jbl stereo.

I had to drive through some standing salt water and his radio stopped working right after. The GPS is working fine but the radio won't pick up a local or satellite signal. Do you think the problem is related to driving through the water or just coincidence?

My seat heater decided to stop working a few days ago when the temp. dropped down to -30deg Celcius. I checked the fuse today and all is well. I couldn't see any loose wires under the seat either. Both seat warmers stopped working at the same time.

So I get to explore my first repair with this new to me car. Yesterday morning, turn signals works fine. That afternoon, the stalk apparently stopped working, which I have heard of. Interestingly though:
-the brights and cruise work
-the hazards work (my improvised indication that I'm turning )
-the stalk had been replaced once before by the PO.
Did this thing eat another stalk, or are there some other things I should check first?

A friend of mine has a 99 passat. Driving home, his turning signals and blinkers stopped working. The lights work with the alarm though. The fuse was fine. Is there a relay that craps out on these cars?

My speed odometer just stopped working along with the trip meter, while I was driving down the Interstate. I noticed no warning signs regarding this failure. Strange all other indications seem to work just fine on my cluster.

Why my windshield sprayer stopped working? When I pull the handle to engage, I do not even hear the motor engage - this no spray either. Could it be a fuse?

I am working on my son's 1997 F-150, 2 wheel drive, 4/6L truck. He was driving it when the gauges and the tach stopped working. I replaced the cluster and it still blows the fuses. The five amp fuse that is specifically for the cluster doesn't blow. It is a twenty five amp fuse that also power the overdrive circuit, etc.
After replacing the gauge cluster I installed a new fuse and the overdrive button on the shifter started smoking. Where I could get a wiring diagram of this circuit so I can see how it is wired.

2004 Excursion 4x4 6.0. I just had the fuel injectors & wiring harness replaced and it runs great, but after 30 minutes of driving the complete dash lights/gauges stopped working. I found that the #45 10amp fuse had blown so replaced it and after 20 minutes the same thing happened. While it was working all of the lights & gauges seemed to be working okay. This doesn't effect anything else, still starts & runs okay, turn signals work, head lights work, but the head light auto on/off doesn't.
