I've got a 2003 Jetta Auto TDI. My neighbor's interested in it and I haven't started it in 6 months. We wash it and take it for a test drive.
The wipers work for a couple seconds, and then I start spraying wiper fluid and it sprays for a couple seconds and then stops dead in the middle. No noise.
No spray, no wiper. I get out and easily move the wipers up and down so I don't think the transmission is broken or frozen (and the motor doesn't make any noise anyway).
Then we notice the signal lights don't work, BUT, the hazards do.
And to top it off, the cabin blower fan doesn't turn on. I think the recirc light comes on if we push it, but the ac light doesn't come on, even if the knob is turned to 1-4.
Headlights do work. I don't think the defrost switch works (we press it in, but I don't recall it heating up, or getting brighter).
A bit of research indicated the ignition switch so I swapped it out with a spare used switch and nothing changed.
Since all my research indicated it was probably the ignition switch but it isn't I'm stumped and need help.
Thanks!
