AC/Heater Fan in 2002 Jetta GLS Wagon

Curtis in DC asked:
My question is this: the air conditioning/heater fan of my 2002 Jetta Wagon will only work when it's turned all the way to 4 (full blast). Is this something I can fix myself with the help of my local auto part shop?

Leon (Transmission Exchange replied:
There is a resistor that goes bad and then you only have high fan.

$90.00
That's the part number and approximate cost.

ABS Light is On

Anonymous Asked:
Question: The "ABS" light just came on in our 1999 Volkswagen Jetta. I checked the brake fluid level, and it was full. The brakes don't seem soft, what do you think could be causing the light to be on?

Leon (Transmission Exchange) Replied:
Each wheel has a sensor that tell the computer what that wheel is doing. The sensor is connected with wire to the computer. In this kind of weather with the snow and the slush it can get to that wire and sensor. Sometimes the the snow can break a weak wire or if the insulation comes off the wire and the snow can short the signal to ground it will set the ABS light. The system is such that even if the ABS systems fails the brakes still will work, only you won't have the added protection that the ABS gives.
