Fuse number 42 is for the radio reset. Pull it out and put it back in. It's a warranty problem, expired now no doubt.

Usually if power is disconnected from the radio it will think it has been stolen. If you checked the fuses and they are all good, try removing the radio and reinstalling it. You will have to buy a radio removal tool for around $10. When you reinstall the radio it should ask for the security code. You can find the code on a small card in your owners manual. If you do not have the card you will have to get it from Volkswagen first. Thats the best that I can come up with. If that doesn't solve the problem you might have to go to the dealership.

My Volkswagen Jetta won't start after disconnecting and re connecting the battery

The first link says you can disconnect the battery cables and touch the Pos and Neg leads together to discharge any stored charge in the system. I don't think that is good, it works on some cars and other cars it can short out electrical components. I think it is better to disconnect the battery and turn the key on and let it sit for more than 1 hour to reset the immobilizer. Just my thought.

The radio just turned off in my 02 vw jetts

This seems to be a common problem with this series of radio. If you open the drivers door and pop the fuse panel cover off the side of the dash, then locate fuse number 42 ( should be 25 amp). Remove the fuse, check to see if it is blown(it usually isn't), if it isn't blown leave it out for about 30 seconds to 1 minute and then reinstall. Hope this helps it worked on my 02 Jetta TDI.
