1 Fuses And Circuit Breaker problem of the 2002 Volkswagen Golf

Failure Date: 02/18/2006

The car has a tilt/telescope steering column, after adjusting the column the turn signals quit working. Could not restart the car after turning it off because immobilizer would not recognize the key. Multiple fuses were blown out, including the one for the hazard flasher. Upon investigation the failure was from the wiring harness for the steering column, the insulation on most of the wires was cracked and the turn signal wires shorted out. The insulation for the main power wires running into the ignition switch also were cracked, if these shorted out it could have caused a fire. Most of the insulation in this area has hardened and is not very flexible, making it prone to cracking. Temporary repair has been taping up all the exposed wires with electrical tape. Have not yet checked into the availability of a replacement wiring harness.

4 Fuses And Circuit Breaker problem of the 1999 Volkswagen Golf

Failure Date: 09/18/2001

Engine suddenly stopped running while on freeway, only good luck allowed me to get out of traffic. Engine restarted 5 minutes, I continue driving, now only in the right hand lane. Almost made it home, engine dies suddenly again, same 5 minute wait, engine starts and runs just fine. I am an engineer so I took off the kick panel to have access to the relay panel: the next time it suddenly stopped, I felt all relays on the panel, relay marked 109 was hot to my touch; I would estimate 130 degrees f or more. I replaced the relay and I find it has been redesigned. This is why I contact you.
