Similar problems here. Parked for winter w/ battery Maintainer. Kid unplugged it when he was snow blowing. Battery went dead. I recharged the battery, reconnected to the maintainer. Checks out Good, 12.5v. Locks & Windows don't work.
Windows:
-switches don't work (relays in doors click)
-both inner & outer handles don't work (relays in doors click)
-top retract windows don't move, top retracts/extends normally (relays in doors click)

Locks:
-Key Lock works, locks both doors, but does not activate anti-theft
-dash switch doesn't work
-Fob locking- Locks, Unlocks, Beep Beep

I replaced the Immobilizer last year with one from ECU Doctors and had them make me a spare. The Immobilizer is fine. Fuses C3 & D1 are OK.

FINISHED REPAIRED!!!!

Windows: Corroded Power Supply Wire in Left A-Pillar. Seized Motor in Right Door.

Locks: Replaced w/ ElCheapo $30 VW Latches from Amazon. Part# 3B1837016A -RIGHT DOOR, 3B1837015A - LEFT DOOR. This is ONLY for the '97 Model as it has different latches than other model years. Locks & sets Alarm w/ Key, unlocks deactivates alarm w/ Fob. That's good enough for now.
