Fuse 38 is good....I suspect the auxiliary fuse/relay box...what relay/fuse might get things working again ?

Followed all the various programming techniques... none worked...thinking if relays/fuses are good only a VCDS Link-up will work for programming FOB ?

There is a certain procedure us VW techs use to program fobs which involve a VAG or VAS scan tool. You must erase the current value stored and relearn the new FOB.
