ok, this is complicated, but here goes....
I have a 2002 golf, and everything went haywire a few days ago. The right rear running light had burned out so I went to the auto store to replace it, I removed the burned out bulb and took it with me, and then tried to lock the car with my remote button key, which didn't work for the first time. (the light on the remote key still comes on so it's batteries are working)
I replaced the bulb and started the car, the door ajar chime started even though there were no open doors and then when I turned on the headlights it went into a solid beep. meanwhile we checked the lights to make sure they were all working and the left rear brake light had just burned out. so back into the store, replaced that bulb, the noise happened again when starting the car, but all the lights were working so drove home, the noise went away, but now none of the windows work at all. And the car continously unlocks itself. I have to use the physical key, but when I go to lock the car I turn the key once and all doors lock and immediately unlock, the second time I lock it the drivers door locks and the rest remain unlocked.
Does anyone have any ideas about what might be happening?
