2002 VW Passat won't turn over but the lights, radio, etc work. Tried to jump it but it did not help. Wondering if it could be a fuse.
We had the same problem. It was an expensive fix--there apparently was a problem with the onboard computer that would periodically lock out the ignition circuit. Felt just like a bad starter solenoid--but the part cost $800, plus labor, to replace. Ouch.
Miiiight be a fuse but more likely to be the starter solinoid.

I drive a 2002 VW Passat Wgn. I started giving me trouble starting about 6 mos ago and has progressively worsened. I brought it to my local mechanic who tested it and suspected it was the starter. So after $500 two days ago and intermitent startings, I was at his gas station fillling up tonight when it just wouldn't turn over so I had to push it into a parking spot and leave my key so he can research and fix tomorrow. I don't think it's the starter or the clutch. you see its a manual transmission with $75000 miles on it. It never gave me trouble until 2 months ago when the pump behind the brake peddle broke and water accumulated in the line and I had NO BRAKES. That was fixes, then the front ball joint went. I'm trying to keep the car going for 3 more yrs with no more $$$ repair costs so I can turn in for a hybrid.
Mechanic said he tested all connections and result was the starter. But even with a new Starter of 2-days old it still WONT START....HELP.
Thank you.
