Touch Screen Panel
Hi!
Hopefully, someone will help with a question about my touch screen module (panel). I have a 2005 VDP, red, 53K miles. My dream car!
Only left buttons operate. Ones on the right--sometimes, rarely. I press, but often nothing happens even using different pressure or they jump back to left buttons.
Before I pay for a new sensor panel (which is what the dealer will say); what could be problem? A fuse, a wire?
My car still has full warranty. I ask b/c I am female and don't want to be taken advantage of again. I now know I got duped with my brake pads. (Per comments of other new members).
RE: pads. I went for brake pads b/c front rotors were scratched (back "OK for now"; but "close to being scratched". Was told needed 4 rotors just to keep things "balanced". Jag "always installs 4 rotors even when only 2 are bad. That's just the way we do it." So I paid $3000 for my ignorance.
Don't want this again to anyone!
So-o-o. the TOUCH SCREEN...
Any ideas???
Any ideas???

Hi Cookie
I assume you mean the buttons on the left and right of the display screen, (top right button says "Nav" for bringing up the satnav display). If all four have failed on that side it indicates a wiring connection problem, I would think. Normally behind the button you see is a little tiny button costing about $3, I had one fail on a Mazda Xedos. An electronics shop can probably replace these, (they are normally soldered onto the circuit board) but it is a dismantle, repair, and replace job, with the car OOS while you do this. In my case I just bought another assembly from a car breaker, warranted as a low mileage accident write-off. This was about £60 rather than the £500 at the main agent.
If it is the virtual buttons on the display itself which you "press", then the display panel is defective.

Yeah, for real. If it's under a warranty, just don't pay for anything! A touch screen is not a wear and tear item.
