    2002 2.0L VW Beetle
    I have a 2002 2.0L VW Beetle, it has 92000 miles with a new battery, news plugs, wires, and ignition coil I will go to start it and all the lights on the dash blink but it will not start, it does not even try. I disconnect the battery and reconnect at it starts. The battery and alternator have been tested stat. It does not do it every time.

    . Check the ignition switch for wear, pitting, or melting.

    The most important thing may be "the new battery."
    You're car may be in Theft Mode since the battery replacement. A quick disconnect and re-connect may be fooling the car into starting.
    You may need to have the security password shared between modules.
    Check for and clear any DTCs that may have set.
