Seeing as how no one bothered responding with anything useful. here's what I found thus far. The CLU/Immobilizer is 100% A-Ok. It's not wet, it's not corroded. I have two synchronized to the car, Both work fine.

Windows now work. Driver's Side Isolated to the Gray & Red Wire in the A-Pillar terminal. Both ends were corroded off, the terminal block was full of water and mud. I rewired the circuit, resealed the terminal.

Passenger Side was simply a frozen motor. I removed the motor lubricated it, applied power and it worked perfectly.

Windows now work in all normal functionality. Regulators are fine, and now thoroughly lubricated.

Door Locks are still a problem. I replaced the Latch mechanisms and utilized the old Electrical portion. The '97 is different than all other years as it has an 8 pin Terminal and all other years have a 9 pin Terminal. The internal mechanisms in the electrical sections are also very different. I have a strong feeling the Latches were not a problem to begin with. So now I have Spares if needed.



Driver's side locks w/ key only. Dash Switch is inop, Remote Locking is inop. However, it will unlock with the fob. Three Key turns to lock, Locks Driver's Door & Fuel Cap and activates alarm system, single beep. Open the passenger door and the alarm goes off. So it's working as it should.

The indicating unit, flashes 2 times/second, indicating a malfunction in the system. Dash LED does not come on at all. Dash Switch is inop.

I NEED an Electrical Schematic or diagram for the '97 Model Year Door Lock System. The Bentley is useless as it's '98-'04.

Update, Mostly Fixed: Replaced both door latches w/ $30 VW Latches. Part# 3B1837015A (Left), 3B1837016A (Right). THIS IS FOR '97 MODEL YEAR ONLY. Remote unlocks car & fuel cap, disables alarm. Key Locks Doors & fuel Cap, three turns activates alarm. That's good enough. It Locks & the Alarm works. No more double beep.
