Seems like the cold weather was the problem. Working fine again. Have had strange intermittent electrical problems for a few years now. Only happens when really cold or very rainy

Top down alarm

Volkswagen Beetle 2003 Beetle convertible 162000 miles
My car thinks the top is down so an alarm sounds every time I take off. Is there any way to disconnect that alarm? It sounds like it's coming from dash and it's the same alarm that's sounds when headlights are on and I open my door. It's driving me insane. I can't afford $150 just to diagnose.

Depleted battery

Volkswagen Beetle 2002  200000 miles
My car's charge is depleted from one day to the other. I've already bought a new battery, replaced the alternator, starter, fuses and even confort module as indicated, but the solution is still to be found. I would like to know if it is necessary to change the computer, as I have just been told that the alarm remains activated and that its failure is in the computer. I would not like to buy a new one until I am completely sure that is the cause of the problem. What do you think about it? Thanks.

Something similar occurred to me. Try checking the crankshaft sensor.

Vw electrical issues

Volkswagen Beetle 2006 Beetle 88000 miles
First issue the radio was draining my battery. I had the radio disconnected. No issues until now. The electric to the windows do not work and the car alarm goes off randomly. My neighbor that is a mechanic looked at the wiring in the door and said no wires were broke. Not sure what it could be.
