Our Jetta suddenly will not beep the horn when you lock the doors with the
remote. Lights still flash and I have replaced the battery in the remote. Any ideas why this would just start and were to look? Thanks in advance, Ray

leave a window down, set the alarm, reach in to unlock and open a door.
If the horn does not sound try to start engine. report results Might be hood or trunk switch!

Thanks for the reply. Looks to be the hood switch. I can manipulate it and
at times get the horn to chirp. I guess it needs replacing as it is intermittent. Looks tough to get to.

No its not tough to get to. Just take off the front grill & remove the hood
latch. Shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes. Easiest way to test it is to disconnect the connector which is clipped to the passanger side of the upper rad support. You can follow the wire to the connector. If you disconnect the switch & the horn beeps thats your problem. Craig "lobo" > wrote in message ... > Thanks for the reply. Looks to be the hood switch.

Remember lobo that FINDING the problem is harder than fixing it.
You are almost finished with the repair. Just do what Craig says and all will be good again! ;-) "Craig" > wrote in message ... > No its not tough to get to.

Thanks Dave and Craig also! I have been searching the internet for the micro
switch and seem to only find it included with the latching mechanism. I hate to, but will need to call the dealer and see?

BYPASS IT!
At least for right now until you find one that won't cost $80 or so! "lobo" > wrote in message ... > Thanks Dave and Craig also!

Exactly. Just disconnect the connector & leave it that way. Its only there
in case someone opens your hood when breaking in. Unless your in the habbit of leaving your windows open thats not going to be an issue.

$80, wow! For just a defective micro switch? Nice design VW has there
 Disconnect sounds like a better alternative. Got to keep the Wife happy and get her single chirp back.
