Ok here's the deal.  My sister has a '97 GTI with the 2.0 8V.  She is 
experiencing some problems:
First and most important are her headlights.  The daytime running lights do 
not work and(maybe as a
result) the headlights do not work now.  Her parking lights do work.  She 
has high beams only if she
holds the high beam switch back, which is kind of hard to do while driving 
not to mention pissing off
everyone coming towards you.  I thought first of the switch at the parking 
brake but that checks out
ok.  She doesn't have a Bentley manual, yet, so I'm at a loss here.  Any of 
you have experience with
this/ know a solution or a way to jumper something so she can have 
headlights?
Now she is missing some other electrical things and says they all went out 
at the same time-
Heater blower(all speeds), rear defrost, wipers(front and rear) inc washer, 
foglights, and ABS light stays
on.  I've checked all fuses and they are fine.  I'm wondering if all these 
things share a common controller
or relay.  Any thoughts?
Any help would be very helpful as it will be dark pretty soon.
