Sounds like a dead short. In my older car, I built a new circuit with an in line fuse for safety and solved my pesky problem. Put the same size fuse as the car called for from the factory. All is well. Just run a hot wire from a power source and ground the ground portion of the lighter to a chassis ground. If you put in a lighter and fuse in like stated, you can do this with a little patience.
Could be the problem your having is not computer related.
The epc light in your VW Jetta could be on for many reasons. Your VW Jetta may need a new brake light or it could need an O2 sensor. The best thing to do is take it to a mechanic so they can properly diagnose the problem.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT?
buy a new one
Its the fuse.. if not that check the wiring..
uhh...try looking in the fusebox???
Could be "service engine soon" light indicating a problem with emission system - have vehicle scanned to determine problem
most likely check for a penny in the botton of it.
I would like to find out what type of fuse is needed for the 2010 vw jetta cigarette lighter and how to identify which fuse it is and where located
An electrical problem.
I just had a similar problem on my 2003 jetta. They replaced the bulbs and it turns out to be a faulty break light switch as well. Make sure to get it checked ASAP otherwise your shifter could get stuck in park.
your horn is not working, the alarm has a different horn.
