Hello everyone,
I have a 2006 Jetta TDI. Been having some electrical issues as of late. Just drove to work the other day and on my way home the blower motor would surge, lights on dash would go on and off, center console lights would go off, and headlights would dim quite a bit. Problem is definitely intermittent as it would only do it about 3 times in 60 miles. Seemed like if I had high electrical loads on (blower on high, heated seat on 5, radio louder, brights on) it was worse.
Problem would happen for a few seconds. I then turned down the fan, shut off heated seats, and lowered radio volume. Then everything kinda started working normal. Very intermittent issue.
It seems to me like I have a loss of electrical power coming into cab. I removed engine bay fuse panel and checked connections and fuses for corrosion and looseness. Everything was fine. Will probably check battery and alternator just to cover basis later.
Anyone else have an issue similar? Intermittent electrical problems are by far the worst to deal with. Wondering if anyone has a "known" problem spot to check? Thanks guys.
