Electrical system problem on the 1999 Volkswagen beetle: during the last (4) weeks, daughters beetle stopped running on (2) major highways, and one-time a side street near my home. The 1st auto shop stated that I had a bad alternator & a bad battery. Than, 1 week later, the new alternator blew and the same mechanic had the original alternator re-built stating it was the harness! than, it stopped running on my road near my home. A 2nd auto shop told me to take it toe vw dealer and that is where it is now! I have paid $640 so-far & have used my aaa for towing 3x's!.
