Default frickin/frackin/fritzin' electrical system!

Traveling this week in the middle of Montana. Got my first CEL in a long time while traveling early in the day yesterday, then last night, the windows stopped operating, the interior lights stopped working, the sunroof wouldn't open and the car alarm: Although the doors lock when I hit the key fob, the quiet horn doesn't sound and the red light by the door lock ain't flashin'. All dash lights work, and if when I hit 5mph the door automatically lock. Lastly the dash indicator shows all 3 passenger doors open! I guess I'm driving a fine old British car...got an apptmnt for with my Indy on Monday...Any ideas on what's wrong?! Thanks in advance!

No ideas on what's wrong, but let me know if you want me to scan it for you w/ my VAG-COM.

Default Thanks...first I gotta get home at the end of the week.

121k on the odo, and except for this, running strong. Averaging 80+mph, and 20.5mpg (even on 91 octane Montana "gas". OT, but saw one moose and a herd of pronghorn in the last 24 hours!

Good comment about the British car. Made me laugh for sure. Been there with Land Rover.

Oops, forgot to input. Try disconnecting battery for a few seconds if you have tools? Check fuses.

No worries about radio code if I do this?

Default It is the lumbar hitting some wire in your seat. Exact same thing happened

on a road trip to me over the 4th of July. Exact same symptoms for the car and for me. I thought it was tied into the car alarm and wasted (learned alot) all sorts of time and energy only to find out it is a common ailment.

My dealer repaired under warranty.
