Heya, what's up? I was looking around online because I am having a problem with my 2002 Jetta 1.8T. I got the car with an aftermarket alarm key system and my original vw key wouldn't even unlock or lock the doors.(I DO have the original flip blade key and extra valet key plus the radio code) I left my car in the garage for awhile but in the meantime the aftermarket alarm transmitter broke (battery leaked and board got corroded). So now I need to get my car back up and running but I can't. After some research I found out how to activate my original flip blade key and now my original key is able to lock and unlock the doors, but I'm still not able to start my car. The only luck I had was that I was able to unlock and start the car with my aftermarket transmitter once before it really died , so I don't think my issue is mechanical. Other then that I really need to get my baby up and running and I have thus far tried leaving the key in the iginition in on for awhile . I plan on discharging by taking out the negative lead on the battery and holding the brake down but I'm not sure if that will work because I replaced my Jettas battery with a brand new one right before i ran into this problem.
Thanks for hearing me out guys, ANY help with this would be really appreciated. Thank you !
