Lights flashing and bells and whistles then car eventually stops
Volkswagen Beetle 2005 133000 miles
2005 VW beetle convertible with 133,000 miles. Starts fine and after few minutes the top ajar light starts flashing then the lights on the display come on (one by one-temp light-ABS light-airbag light-check engine light) then the radio shuts off then warning beeps and eventually the car stalls and will not restart.
