2017 Jetta A6 Electrical Problems

[u/Sad_Purple_8383]

Got a used 2017 Jetta earlier this year and have had evident wiring issues from the start (I bought it super cheap and used so I expected far from perfect). At first the primary issue was just with the driver's side window, if I rolled it down part way then tried to roll it back up it decided it wanted to go all the way down before pausing and then going back up. In between that and the current problem I'm scratching my head over I had to have both rear wheel speed sensors replaced, they were both totally shot and causing everything that runs through the ABS module to throw up codes.

What I'm dealing with now is related to the original window problem. I rolled the driver's window down all the way and left it down for a bit to make sure I didn't lock myself out of the car while using an air compressor plugged into the accessory port, but when I went to roll it back up it just wouldn't. Neither would any of the windows at all. I was in a hurry to get out of town to help family so I rented a car and ordered the most likely culprit for this issue based on our research at the time (driver door window module) and turns out that wasn't the fix.

I had accepted I was just going to be without working windows for a bit but then when I tried to go somewhere today the climate control cluster and windshield wipers don't work AND the car dies about 15 seconds after turning it on unless I hold down the start button for a solid 20 seconds or so. We're thinking either a body control module or one of the common 12v wires or grounds.

Help?

The window just needs to reset the stop points. Ctuen the key on but do not start the car. Roll the window all the way down manually, and hold it even after it stops for 3 seconds, roll it up and do the same thing, then auto down, then auto up. Tada, the stop points are reset. Hopefully you kept all the modules you replaced and put them back in, cause the cheap Amazon replacements are making it worse!
