I did a diag a couple days ago on this Jetta and found the linkage assembly siezed up and the gear in the motor got stripped as a result. The customer bought the motor and linkage, the parts weren’t available until today, and it was my day off so I had to turn the job over to a friend. He called me up today because the wipers didn’t work after he got it all back together. I go in so we can sort through too many pages of VW wiring diagrams and compare them to Mitchell diagrams and theorize where to look next. The Mitchell diagrams were incomplete and the OE diagrams are endless & endlessly messy. I printed off a couple dozen pages of diagrams & code sheets for bathroom reading before we tried hunting some forums. We went through eight or nine forums before we found one that told us the wipers won’t work with the hood open.
The ridiculous and stupid moral of the story: Close the hood.
