98 Passat gls 1.8t won’t start

Asked by BatmanNinja91 Mar 05, 2019 at 07:22 PM about the 1998 Volkswagen Passat 4 Dr GLS 1.8T Turbo Sedan

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Was doing work on the sunroof took the headliner
out but it’s still in the open position but when I put
it back on and I think the #79 relay for the
sunroof/“power windows and doors” failed and
somehow my actuator in my trunk latch started to
move back and forth in a stuck motion and won’t
stop unless I smash it shut or disconnect the wire
from it but If I go to start the car the truck latch
opens and doesn’t let me start..I think it’s
something to do with my anti theft and the fact
that my door latches don’t work why my key to
enable the alarm but I can unlock them but I can
use my key to enable and disable the alarm from
the trunk but it won’t right now cause it is moving
back and forth and doesn’t disable. I also pulled
out the #214 relay cause at first that one felt like it
was clicking but it looked like it needed to be
replaced also. Any help?
