windows would go down on their own sometimes will driving or after sitting for a whlie. alarm and power locks work fine . they would go back up using inside controls or external key function . now i cant get them to go back up at all using either function . need some trouble shooting assistance . . there is no fuse labaled for that function . motors are not engaging at all

found it myself it was a thermal relay on the top part of the fuse panel pluged into unit #14 you have to look above the coloured fuses . vw dealers didnt want to say . it found out by trouble shooting my self . that was the cause for the no power to the windows . the random up and down of the windows i traced to the micro switches in the door lok units . one gets faulty it can send bad signals to the rest . this yeasr the windows and alarm can be activated buy the external key operation , when this is done the micro switch is the senser of the info . you can replace them seperate from the lok mech. also checked the wirring between the body and the doors , inside the rubber boot and found some cracked plastic coating with bare wire exposed , was not the problem but caught it in time , thicker yellow with red stripe is the main feed , you can check useing a test light hooked up to grong
