My vw jetta has had issues losing electronic power steering on and off, typically when it rains or the roads have been salted and it is slushy or snowing. this last week i was driving and i lost traction control, cruise control, tachometer, abs brakes and oil pressure. the car would not idle. researching the issue, i found there may be an issue with the wiring harness. i inspected the harness and discovered that several wires have been chafed by the plastic loom and worn through the insulation, exposing the wires. i also discovered that the positive cable to the starter had chafed and worn through the ground wire insulation creating a potential hazard to short the battery.

My vehicle has had previous electrical issues as they pertain to the driver side door and window and its connection to its power draw and battery. in 2014, there was an extended warranty placed on my particular vehicle for replacement and repair of the window/door motor mechanics and wiring harness. i am now experiencing recurring issues and my brand new battery's charge will not hold - often beyond 24 hours as a failure is causing a power draw to drain the car's battery.
