No windows, sunroof, interior lights, central locking, etc

Wet immobilizer/PL controler?

No, no evidence of there ever being dampness under there. The cable connector pins were all clean. The proper operation was restored after reconnecting the module to the cable. It was after reconnecting the airbag cable and a few of the other wires on the upper console and pushing all the cables back into the hole in the dash where the PCM used to be, that the problem was back and worse (the fuse D3 only used to blow when the button on the fob was pushed. Now it blows as soon as its installed (battery connected, no key in ignition). I still think its a wire associated with the PCM/Pioneer Stereo Navigation system, but, I figured out a 90% method for determining the fault. Take out all the fuses associated with items on the front cable assembly, put in a fresh D3 fuse, then put the other fuses back in one at a time until the fuse blows.

I don't think its a problem with a logic device of any kind (unless its got a short inside or in a cable to/from it). I thinks its some wire with the insulation scraped off it, or somehow or other being shorted to ground.

I'm hoping to have it fixed by Spring.

Thanks,

This is a really frustrating problem! I cannot believe it! Monitoring, central locking ???? Good luck with that one Mike. Anxious to see your findings!

Yea, but the most frustrating thing is not being able to lock the passenger door. I will check other fuses tomorrow that might control the locking mechanism in the passenger's door.

One good thing to come out of the other job - stopping the rattling in the sunroof - its gone. Didn't fix anything. Took the headliner out and the noise went away. Next step, I'll remove all the rest of the sunroof assembly, replace the sunroof cover with a cf one and try to find a good used non-sunroof headliner or have one made from my old one.

Mike there is a TSB about the sunroof rattling #6028. The winter is coming. I am installing a heating system in my garage to be able to work on the car this winter or simply sat in front of it in admiration....I hope you are equip to be warm working on the TT?

jp- I think there have been a couple of them and a lot of write-ups. With mine, the rod that goes across the headliner behind the sunroof was broken off on both sides. Right now, the thought of doing a sunroof delete is more appealing than doing a sunroof repair.

I'll be driving the car all winter. With snow wheels/tires on, I can fit on the tracks of car wash without scraping the rims and will be able to get an underside cleaning once a week.

Broken rod on both sides??? Strange. At least, if you change your mind, you know what's wrong and what has to be fix to get the sunroof functional again...

According to some people on Rennlist, the TT seems to be a very good car to drive in the winter. If you got lots of salt on the road, of course cleaning the underside is a good thing.
