These switches have a history of wearing out early. Inside switch needs to be replaced. Just pop it out but it is $$$$.

try taking apart and cleanig all contacts first. make sure you are getting power to switch. Sounds more switches are going bad. They usually last about 5 to 7 years before they start going out.

SOURCE: None of the driver's side

I had the same exact problem.

I had bought the door lock and window control unit that goes in the drivers front door from a junk yard and replaced it.

Now I can lock and unlock the doors from the drivers side. Also, now all of the passangers can control their windows as long as the window lock is not turned on from the drivers door.

I am not sure what the actual drivers side window control unit is called. You do not have to unscrew anything to get to the unit out. The plastic piece it sits in just pops out. Then you remove it from the plastic piece and use the "wire connecter clip" to unplug the old unit and plug in the new unit.

Hi Rachel . It sounds like the plug on the drivers window motor (Which is also the ecu for that door) has come off or is loose . This will stop the cdl working as well . Regards VW Audi tech

SOURCE: my car key is stuck in the driver's side door (VW new Beetle).

I assume you have tried juggling and turn ing the key and pulling all at once>>> Type in the security code for the auto locks on the driver door panel it should release the security device in the lock that holds on to fradulent keys (some models have this some dont) if this doesnt work , try unlocing and locking the door using the controls in the car and pulling on the key to try and remove, if the key wont trun any directions remove door panel locate the locking mechinism and use a flat head screw drivce to turn the lil dial o nthe back side to and try to remove the key.. If none of these work, pull really hard straight back dont bend key on lock as it will break off!! becarefull and goold luck.....
hope this will fix'ya

SOURCE: how do you remove driver side door panel 1999 vw

On the inside trim, you can remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to get it off the window ledge. Then you'll need to manipulate the panel and disconnect the door handle linkage from the door handle and disconnect the wiring for your controls.

I'm a bit late with this solution but you have to push the unlock button on your key TWICE in quick succession - that will un-lock your remaining doors on the second press.

Psycho 99 VW Beetle - I think it may be possessed, because I roll the windows up, lock the doors and when I walk a few feet away - the car un-locks and the windows roll down automatically..HELP!!

apparently the VW beetle is an odd machine, there is some kind of module connected to the locks and windows, for instance if you have the door lock, and in the closed position then use the key to unlock and hold it in unlock position the window will roll down showing you that the lock control module is working. if I were you I would seriously consider taking it to a VW dealership and showing them the problem. they might be able to tell you whats wrong or suggest a good exorcist lol good luck

I have a 1999 VW Beetle, and the interior lights come on when the passenger door is opened, but not when the drivers door is opened. Where's the switch?

ah, This is a very common VW issue. Hopefully yours is just gunked up like mine was. i just fixed mine today. here's how...

1. open drivers door, put key in ignition and turn to "run" position (this so you can hear the dinger)

2. trip the latch in the door so it clicks TWICE locked, you'll see.

3. now at the bottom of the latch there is a void you've exposed. Get a Can of contact cleaner, or brakecleaner and HOSE under the latch piece. I mean firehose the hell out of it for a bit, then open and close the door a dozen times or so to work the latch.

4. Repeat as necessary. Plan to use up at least half a can. I had it running out of the door drains. Hopefully this frees up the gunk that probably has built up.

5. Regardless if this does work or not, finish up with something like a few good shots of PB Blaster, WD 40, or some light lubricant. Maybe it will work free over the next day or so.

If this unfortunatly doesn't do the trick the switch might be physically broken. Either spend $170 on a new one or google '$3 vw door fix' if you feel like MacGyver.

My daughter is buying a 1999 VW Beetle and the AC is not working, the driver side window will not go down and the buttons that opens the trunk and fuel door will not work. Will these be really expensive to...

I have a friend with a 1999 Beetle. The Window was a pain, ended up taking it a shop. 285 at $90 per hour labor, saved an hour because I had taken apart the door.

AC not working at all? Likley the AC Controller (475) or the blower motor regulator (225).

Wiring is also bad in the one your looking at likely. And wiring jobs are a pain.

It will need a new timing belt at 90K for 600-800. DIY will run you 200.

I am fairly competent with car repair and can usually fix most things myself, but I trust others with wiring issues and computer issues.

Skip that car.
