Yesterday it rained like hell here. I replaced the alternator & battery in my 2003 VW Jetta 2 months ago. It was running great until yesterday. I noticed while driving on the highway my dash lights seemed dim. Then several warnings appeared on the dash and the car slowly lost all power over the next 30 seconds or so. I pulled over, and just as I rolled to a stop I stepped on the gas and it came back to life! After driving another 30 minutes (on backroads) it happened again. This time it's completely dead. I boosted it twice but the car dies after a minute or so. I suspect the alternator. Something got wet? Anyone? Thanks (This post was edited by paulmolive on Jan 12, 2020, 11:48 AM) Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jan 12, 2020, 12:14 PM Post #2 of 3 (919 views) Re: 2003 VW Jetta Loss of Power Sign In Check the connection of the main power wire at the alternator and the other end at the battery or the fuse box ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.
