Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Vr6 Won't Start Until Disconnect / Reconnect Battery


Mar 8, 2016

I have a mk4 golf gti vr6. For about the past month every few days when I shut off my car and then try to start it next time I get a very fast clicks. After I disconnect and reconnect the battery it starts up just fine. Yesterday after getting off the highway it shutoff when I came to a stop. Took the key out and before I disconnected the battery it started back up with a turn of the key. I'm guessing it's some kind of ECU issue because it starts up after I reconnect the battery?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2000 VR6 GLX Auto Only Start Until Disconnect / Reconnect Battery

I have a jetta that sat inside for 3 months. and when i went to start it it ran great but when i went to restart after shutting it off it wouldn't restart until I disconnected the battery for a few min and reconnected it , and that is when the check eng light came on the car runs great but having to disconnect the battery each time so I also took it to get the codes read and this is what i got po725, p1780, p1850, po605, po113, po102. I find these codes to be well to say it is a little unbelievable as the car runs fine and i had no trouble before i parked it for 3months. The car only has 58,000 miles on it ?

SC/SL/SW :: Only Way To Start 1997 Saturn SW2 Is To Disconnect Battery Then Reconnect It

So I bought this 1997 Saturn SW2 that had its engine replaced. I think they wired it wrong when they did it. They only way to start it is to disconnect the battery then reconnect it. If you don't and just shut it off with the key and wait a minute, when you turn the key to the on position, the instrument panel will not come back on without disconnecting the battery. However, if you start the car and then shut it off, then turn the key right back on (less than a minute) you can start the car without disconnecting the battery. It's like something needs to be reset once you shut the car off and leave it off for a while.

LeSabre :: 1987 Occasionally Won't Start Without Battery Disconnect / Reconnect

I have a 1987 LeSabre that will not start sometimes and if I disconnect the battery and let it sit about five minutes and reconnect, it starts right back up. Then it seems to be fine for a few days, then won't start again. When it is trying not to start, it cranks, but when you let go of the key it dies again Unless the gas is continuously pushed down.

If you keep trying to start it without adding any gas, it seems like it cranks less and less each attempt? There don't seem to be any other problems with this car at all and no real warning that this is going to happen. I can't even think of things that have been the same each time it happened. It has happened when car was warm, happened when cold. I guess it has happened after letting the car get below 1/4 tank and then refilling (sometime within a day of a fresh tank it does this, maybe?)

Jeep - Grandcherokee :: 2003 - Have To Disconnect Then Reconnect Battery To Start

I have a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee and randomly it decides not to start unless I disconnect then reconnect the battery. At first when I try to start it every accessory will be off but the A/C recirculation light is on for some reason. When I turn the key all the gauges move sporadically but the engine will not turn over at all, which you can see in the attached video. I disconnect and reconnect the battery and everything works perfectly fine. The only other issue has been that sometimes when I unlock the car (I no longer have keyless entry) the alarm will go off until I start the engine. I have not had both problems at the same time.

Prius (2004-09) :: 2007 - AC Only Works If Disconnect / Reconnect The Small Battery

I recently purchase an 07 prius and now the AC only works If I disconnect the small battery at the back and reconnect. It worked fine when I first got It, but after dealing with no AC I decided to try disconnecting the battery and It works. The problem Is when I stop at a light a red triangle shows up on the dash board and If I turn off the car I would have to disconnect and reconnect the battery In order for It to work.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Battery Drain - Draw Goes To 0 When Disconnect All Fuses

I narrowed my battery drain to the box on top of the battery. When I disconnect all three fuses and the 4th wire from inside the box my draw goes to 0 but when I connect any of those 4 it will go back up. Connecting all of them will not increase the draw any more but it seems all of them are connected in some way?

Prius C (Audio/Electronics) :: Android Phone Disconnect For Several Minutes, Then Reconnect

I have an android phone (Motorola Atrix 4G), and it bluetooth syncs fine with my Prius C One, however when I am driving on the freeway, it will occasionally disconnect for several minutes, then reconnect. It's annoying because I use my phone as my personal Ipod and I can't stand listening to the radio, and without fail, every-time I drive in heavy traffic, it will disconnect and I'll have silence for a few minutes till it reconnects. I can't upgrade my phone till February and I plan to get an Iphone, but for the time being I guess I'll have to use an Auxiliary cable instead of bluetooth.

Golf/GTI VI :: 2012 - All Dash Warning Lights On After Battery Disconnect / Discharge

I replaced a post-cat O2 sensor because of a code that came up last week. We didn't reset the ECU, but after driving it a couple days the check engine light went out. 3-4 days of driving and everything looked good.

Today the check engine light came on again and autozone read the code as:

P0136 - heated oxygen sensor - bank 1 sensor 2 (HO2S12) sensor range/performance condition

Explanation Open circuit or short circuit condition

Probable Cause

Poor electrical connection

check other service codes

Faulty Bank 1 Sensor 2.

Anyway, I thought it might be because we didn't reset ECU and some kind of calibration might be off in the system. So, I unplugged the battery in an attempt to let it discharge and reset ECU. When I connected the battery back up.... ALL THE FREAKIN LIGHTS ARE NOW ON THE DASH. Check engine... traction control.... tire pressure.... everything.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Battery Malfunction - Can't Get It To Start Smoothly

This is my first VW. My first European car at all. I've been having what I think are battery issues, but they're weird. Every... I'd say 3rd or 4th start, I just get the clickclickclickclickclick thing. Then I jump it and it starts fine. When I don't have to jump it, it's been starting rough. When I jump it is the only time it starts smoothly. To me that screams battery.

The other day, I went to start it and it wouldn't start. But I had nothing to do that day so I went back inside and did whatever. Went out about 5 hours later, and it started just fine.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2000 - Radiator Fan Draining Battery At Start Up?

I recently bought a 2000 Golf VR6 and I've noticed that my fan to the radiator stays in way too long and think it might be draining my battery. I don't even have to start the engine, once I put my key in the fan starts going. I'm getting really annoyed of having to take the out the fuse to get it to turn off. The battery is brand new so I don't think that's the problem.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Battery Light Came On / No Power To Steering / Won't Start?

Recently bought a MK4 for 1500, I already knew the car would have problems at some point. To make a long story short. I was driving yesterday, I was in 5th gear, going around 55 mph. Out of no where my battery light comes on and next thing I know the power steering goes. The car completely shut off out of no where, there was no noise or anything that would warn me except the battery light. So I automatically thought the alternator must have went. I checked the alternator and battery. The battery was from September of 2011 so.I bought a new one and thought that maybe that was the problem. The car didn't do anything, it didn't even crank it would do absolutely nothing. The funny part is, which has me puzzled is that the lights, radio and other electronics work fine. I don't know if it's either the alternator, ignition coil, the starter, or the wire harness. What this could be?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Randomly When Go To Start Battery Is Dead 2001 AWD Not Starting

I am absolutely stumped and so are two mechanics I've been to. Randomly when I go to start the car the battery is so dead it won't start. Car is an AWD 2001 1.8T Jetta.

Replaced battery and alternator at my regular mechanic, all ground wires look great and couldn't find any shorts. There is a 11 Amp draw from my battery, took it to a shop that specializes in VW/Audi and they hooked it up to Vagcom and it showed absolutely nothing wrong. He left the meter hooked up and pulled every single fuse in the car and there was only like a 0.01 drop, nothing significant. When he went to take my car out of the shop, wouldn't start. So he put a battery pack on it, still wouldn't start. Took off both terminals on the battery, put them back on, put on the battery pack, and car started.

The aftermarket deck in it is just a JVC single din, doesn't seem to have any issues.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2001 - Battery Dead - Sits For 10 Minutes Then Start Again

I have an 01' 1.8 t. We had a Pioneer touch screen Bluetooth deck installed and it was fine for months. All of a sudden it started having battery problems. If it sat for 6+ hours it was dead. We got a new battery from pep boys and once again it was fine for months. They tested my charging system and all components and everything was good. Then it started dying again. We'd charge it and after about 10-20 min it would start. Now the sit time is sporadic, sometimes it will sit all day and start right up and sometimes it sits for 10 min and won't start. Now its not taking a charge. We've once again checked the terminals, charging system, alt. Etc. And its all good. I don't know if it has anything to do with the stereo. We've checked all the wiring and its how it should be, I'm at a loss with this car. It occasionally throws a check engine light but we've hooked up the OBD and there's no codes. When I run the ac the car acts super sketchy, and starts throwing lights. (Brakes, air bag, wipers, engine, asr, doors). Fuses checked out all good, we haven't been able to find a single diagnostic explaining wtf is going on. I love my car too much to give up on her.

Touareg :: How To Disconnect Battery Power

How I'd disconnect the battery power? I don't have the owner's manual handy. I'm attempting to reset all systems to clear a 'steering defect workshop' warning. I've removed the cover and think I see the battery (there's a black bar over it that I can't remove by hand).

Ford :: Disconnect Battery Or Remove Bulbs?

Just picked the Explorer up from the shop getting a new radiator. This question has nothing to do with the radiator, but the fact that the mechanic was not gentle on the drivers door like I've learned to be. Now, the door wont latch. It will close and lock, but still reads DOOR AJAR. The thing is, there is no way to keep the interior light from staying on...except to disconnect the battery. Until I can get this fixed, can I remove the bulbs from my interior lights, or will the battery still run power to them even without a bulb? Trying not to disconnect the battery everytime I park.

My 2007 lexus es 350 engine will not shut off after I push the off button.

The everything goes off except the engine and the dash lights. I have to disconnect the battery to shut off the engine. The car does not have a remote start. could it be a relay and if so which one.

Last night I left the car battery disconnected and then this morning reattached and everything seemed fine. I started the car and let it fun for a couple minutes and then pushed the button and the car shut off. Then about 2o minutes later the alarm went off. The remote would not respond so I started the car and the alarm went off. Then I pushed the button to turn it off and the same problem occurred.
