2001 Cabrio Issues

Just wanted to see if any one has ever got into their 2001 Cabrio and the brake light and ABS light was still on (although the emergency brake was not up) and the AC quit working, the defrost light would not work nor the button that lets you know that the air is circulating. Ironically I stop to run into the grocery store and came out and it worked. Anyone had this happen?

    sounds like – a shorted switch or maybe a relay is shorting something out, but it could be a lot of things, most of which should not be a major deal….the air curculation button is probably related to the fact that the ac is not operative. honestly there are others here who could give better analysis, and a few will just yell out how your car is a piece of garbage. be selective. if i were you i’d take it in to the dealer and have a diagnostic run, it should cost you about $90.

    I have the same issue – I own a 2001 Cabrio GLX. This issue was happening to me all summer on very hot and humid day. The way I cleared this issue, I put the gear in Park, then drive again. Now since it has been cooler it has not happening. I reported this issue to Sovereign VW in Hicksville NY, They claim, that they have never seen or heard of this issue. I have shown them print out of other people experening the same issue, they said they will look into it and get back to me. I will let you know.
