it could be that your relay is stuck on. your passat windows can be lowered or raised when car is off.
The bcm that controls power windows, locks and doors is located on the driverside floor.
I was able to stop power to my malfunctioning windows by removing the "metal fuse" as detailed here. http://www.passatworld.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2501518
a circuit breaker is used for power windows most are 30 amp the reson is when you first hit the winsow button it will cause a power surge a blow the fuse the breaker will automatically reset if overloaded also if 2 people hit button at same time it will overload the fuse.
big relay with numbers 377 controls wipers and works as main supply for others like windows sunroof ignition and starter.....
There isn't one. The power windows and seat adjuster motors are on an automatically resetting circuit breaker. u sure
They are capable of saving a lot of power. if you have it set to power saver but, even on high performance it will try to save power where possible, like automatically reducing the brightness of the screen when there is no activity.
Blown fuse in the fusebox.
You would need to take off the door panel in order to remove it. I've included an auto repair video in "related links" down below that will show you exactly what needs to be done to replace it on your 2000 Volkswagen Passat. Hope this helps you out.
your convience control module under the drivers side seat may be broken.
what would cause all power windows to only work once in awhile and defroster to go out on a 1997 dodge intrepid
Probably the fuse for your power windows look at the manual find out which fuse it is and change it.
check the power options - - - then, select the settings you preffer - - - then, advance power options - - - and make the changes you want.. hope this helps. :)
