Alright I have two cars (2000 golf and jetta). I removed the batteries from the Jetta's remote to put them into my golf's remote (which apparently never worked). I tried it, and lo and behold, it does work, even after swimming with it since I thought it never worked in the first place. Yay!
So I put the battery back into the jetta's remote, and it no longer works. At. All. Any ideas as to what the problem may be?
Now this gets pretty tricky. I can not activate or deactivate the alarm using the regular key in the driver side door. All it does it opens and closes it. I can even open the door and get into the car with the alarm apparently still activated (door sensor doesn't work either???). I'm wondering, if I start the car, will the alarm go off?
Any advice besides going to the dealer?
edit: I tried starting the golf with the alarm activated, and it worked. Tried on the Jetta, and of course......... BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP. I think I'm going to take the driver door apart tomorrow.
