Volkswagen Jetta alarm

Broken wires in the door jam... open the door and move the accordion boot at the door jam. Look for broken wires. Do the same at all doors. If no broken wires are found, then you need to check the Alarm module according to the VW Tech sheet.

1998 Volkswagen Jetta 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

For the past several years I've had problems with my alarm system in my Jetta. The alarm will set itself when the passenger window is rolled up or down a couple of times, when the drivers side window is rolled down on a very hot day, and sometimes for no reason at all. I just want the alarm system OUT of my car. I don't need it. How would I get the alarm system out? Thanks for your help!

Hi,
If you're looking for a home security system . They give you a free complete comparison of the various home alarm system providers in the US and you can choose one based on the size of your home, your requirements, budget etc.

Cannot deactivate alarm with key on drivers side but can on passenger side.

The alarm will arm with key at both passenger and driver door.

Most likely the lock cylinder is broken on the driver's side.
The repair/update kit should be available at the dealer.

My Jetta's alarm keeps beeping all the time. I want to deactivate it till we can find the problem. Where is the box located to deactivate?

You can not simply disconnect alarm or else the vehicle will not start and run. More than likely you have a faulty door latch. try opeing doors and see if any of the doors dont turn lights on when door is opened. The car may see a door closed when it is in fact open or the other way around and this will cause alarm to activate. have also seen trunk latch and hood latch cause this.

BUT THE SECOND TIME I TRY TO SEE IF IT HAD SOLVED THE PROBLEM IT DID NOT IT STARTED TO DO THE SAME THING. WHAT COULD BE WRONG PLEASE HELP??????????

Hi azamora619,

Thank you for the donation.

The symptom indicates a malfunction in the anti-theft and a scan tool is required to go into diagnostics to determine the cause. It could be a faulty control module or the signal from the door lock is not being transmitted to the alarm control module.

how do i dissable the security system

Is this a North American model Jetta?

What is the issue? Have you already checked for broken wiring?

I can tell you how to disconnect it, but I need more info.

We cant tell you how to disable the security system but can help you fix it.

HOW CAN WE RESET OUR ANTI THEFT SYSTEM? OR WHAT ELSE COULD BE THE PROBLEM IF STALLING AND DOESNT RECOGNIZE THE KEY NOW WONT EVEN START

The keys are not being recognized... you'll have to let the VW Dealer re-adapt the keys to the Immobilizer.

How to dismantle the alarm, on the car. It drains the battery.

The alarm module is behind the instrument panel (behind & below the headlight switch).

For Testing Purposes:

You can disconnect the 2 harness plugs that are attached to it (to stop the drain and so that you can do pin-out tests).

The engine will not crank when the two harness plugs are disconnected!

For more information (pin-out tests & which wires to bridge so your starter will work)... I will wait for your reply.
