geordie_guy Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Hi everyone, Interior lights, electric windows, alarm and remote central locking have just stopped working on my Passat 97 1.8s 20v. I haved checked all the fuses and they all look fine. I have to lock the car with the keys and everything else seems to be working fine. Does anyone know what could be the problem?

Pa55aT Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 I'm no expert but I think it is the comfort control unit may have gone. If you do a search under comfort or CCU in the passat forum it should bring up plenty of posts. Apparently its located under the carpet under the front passenger seat and if the car lets water in through the pollen filter (common fault) it corrodes the terminals. The first thing I would do is check the carpet in the front and rear passenger footwells and see if they are damp. Hope that helps Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie_guy Posted November 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Thanks for your answer Pa55aT, I've just checked all footwells and they all seem pretty dry. Could it be something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordie_guy Posted November 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Is it only dealer's job to replace the ccu or a local garage can do it and how much it should cost? Is there anyway I can be sure that its the ccu that needs to be replaced before I buy a new one? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
