Try replacing the battery in the key fob as sometime simple fixes can sort out more complicated problems. The symptoms are usually quite simple. Firstly, you will have trouble locking and unlocking your vehicle. You might also have problems with the alarm system not turning on or off. Next you will have problems getting the vehicle to actually turn the starter motor. Often this will have error messages or warning lights on the dashboard. Some vehicle models might even lock the ignition barrel so you cannot turn the key at all.

Sounds like you are drawing too many amps through the circuit. Window defoggers draw a lot of power which could be the culprit and it tied into the circuit. Unless you are good with schematics and vehicle wiring, it's difficult to narrow it down to what it could be.

What three seals, specifically? Where did you get them replaced? It's very easy to damage a seal upon installation if you're not careful. You can easily pick up an ultra-violet leak detection dye kit on fleaBay that you can add to the oil next time before the oil change, and you can pinpoint exactly where it's coming from.

Quick fix is to take out the ****** bulb or better still, disconnect it.

Check to see if you are getting power to your headlight electrical socket then check the bulb itself.

On a 2000 VW cabrio, MAKE SURE your alarm system is disengaged (running the car and turning it off is one of the easiest methods to make sure you can remove the alarm and start your vehicle after you remove the control boxes. look for the fuse box near you left knee, directly above the fuse box panel in a vertical manner, deep in the dash, is the control boxes for the alarm (they are not easy to reach, expect fustration but you can get to them from there). If I correctly remember, a rectangular silver box and a square black box will do the trick. Remove the three harnesses to the boxes and your nightmare is over.

Look for a junkyard around that sells the window or buy one online for dirt cheap and then put it in yourself. It is not that hard just time consuming.

The fuse marked "PWR WND" or if there are only numbers, check for an index of what number the fuse is for the windows. ( I don't mean AMP rating of the fuse.) If the fuses are good, it may be a bad switch.

My rattling occurred when the exhaust system was taxed because the bracket was tweaked by something. It was very annoying. This may require some savvy thinking because the exhaust system gets hot and wrapping anything around the pipe that is flammable is a VERY BAD idea. There is an area where the exhaust system mounts to the body and a rock, a pothole, or some object on the road tweaked the bracket just enough to cause the pipe to bump and rattle against the frame. Find this area (may be different part in your case) if I remember correctly this issues starts around the area where the exhaust system curves over the frame near the mid-back area of the axle (at least that is where my issue was.) and figure out how to tweak it back and the rattling should stop. This is where the savvy thinking part comes into play to keep the costs at a minimal.
