Mk4 golf issues

[Marshall93]

Hi I have a few issues with my mk4 golf tdi 1.9 hoping I could get some help my electrics seem to be awful on this car and have no idea how to sort it

Faults
Electric windows don’t work except back ones from back switches front one does nothing but will do the locks

Key fob doesn’t work to lock/unlock

Interior lights only work when pressed manually

Also cluster resets randomly when driving

Airbag light on but very dim

Traction control randomly comes On. sometimes will turn On and off if I press it but rarely

The one light in the passenger o/s on the roof comes on with door open but that’s it no other lights inside come on except the drivers door and the passenger door but passenger side instantly dims

Changed CCM fuses
Changed fuse 14 multiple times and other fuses

Any help appreciated

Have you owned this car for a while and it has just developed all these problems, or have you just bought this nightmare?

Some of these issues seem relatively minor, but airbag and TC have the potential to be dangerous if they don't work when needed or kick in at the wrong time. I suspect this type of fault may also alarm your insurer and complicate your next MOT.

Given the long list of faults with no obvious common cause I'd be looking for a systemic fault such as a poor/missing earth.

I have one of these and the electrics can be annoying, I will put down what I think it could be there is plenty of advice on https://uk-mkivs.net/ That will help.

Window Regulator needs replacing Circa £40.00 do the below at the same time

Key fob doesn’t work to lock/unlock

Central locking unit will need to be replaced (Circa £25.00 for a new module

Check tracking as this comes on due to wheel alignment being out.

The one light in the passenger o/s on the roof comes on with door open but that’s it no other lights inside come on except the drivers door and the passenger door but passenger side instantly dims

I would suggest checking battery on this
