Currently issue with AC Control switch (guess) since when AC is "ON" and in position 3 ac works, but does not blow. When switched to 4 blows, but AC light switches off.

Currently cruise control does not work.

Currently driver side door lock does not unlock or lock from outside.

Almost forgot Power lock switch.

Yes, if it's electrical it has gone bad in this car. I love the motor it's still very strong, but the costs of everything else are killing me.

I finally purchased a newer car this week and am now preping the car for sale. I'll be glad to get ride of all the electrical headaches.

Needless to say with all the window issues I reported the Trek to NTSA and VW of AM. About a year after the first 4 repairs they recalled I believe it was the 2002-1998 models, but not the 97. I was not very happy and have pledged never to buy another VW again no matter how much I love them.

VW of America was not very supportive of my situation. The funny thing is I can count on my hands and toes the number of times I used all, but the drivers side window, on my hands and toes (literally) One day out of the blue both the back windows fell. I never touched the control.
