[urq] 3 little questions...

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Louis-Alain,

I can't help with #1 or #3, but #2 would appear to be a flakey  
doorjamb switch.  I suggest removing it and testing the leads.   
Haven't done it on my Urq (yet), but recently did so on a '92n  
Passat. Basically, if the main (driver's door switch) doesn't work,  
neither will whatever is linked to it.  Basically, the contact for  
ground is interrupted until the door is opened and the switch plunger  
extends.  Sometimes can be disassembled, cleaned and reassembled,  
other times replacement is the only option.  HTH

Best,

Ingo
