Two problems related to fuses and circuit breaker have been reported for the 1999 Volkswagen Beetle. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
At 1 1/2 months of ownership the check engine light came on "with no fault found" took 1 1/2 years and 6 service visits to fix. The car often goes forward while in reveres and has shifting problems, have had the transmission "adjusted" 3 times still has problems. Oil light doesnt go on when oil is low. Battery light doesnt go on when the batter is dying. Wiring to headlight keeps "loosening" causing the headlights to fail. Had rear and front brakes replaced due to low ground clearance and snow getting lodged in them and freezing.
Electrical system had a failure in fuse box which caused some fuses to melt. One fuse shorted out a wire to the relay box which also sustained a short. Head lights, defogger, horn, turn signals etc, became inoperative. Please describe details.
