Touareg :: Lamp Fail Light Is On After Installing Euro Headlight Switch
Aug 26, 2007
I need Vag-Com to reset a failed lamp warning light . . . I'm assuming because I ended up pulling the switch out too far, which commands the rear fog light to come on, which doesn't exist, I caused the "lamp failure" warning light and chime to come on and NOT GO OFF (I installed my new Euro headlight switch last night).
I checked and have no dead lamps. I put the old switch back in for a bit but it's still reporting a failed lamp. I searched for this problem before posting but the search engine on this site is extremely poor ... .Couldn't find anything in the manual either. It assumes we're idiots because it says a certified mechanic should change the lamps but oh, carry extras with you !!??

Just installed my Euro switch from USP Motorsports, When I have the DRL's on with fogs whichever side the flasher is activated on dims the L.E.D DRL instead of shutting it off or keeping it at full power. Is this normal?

I just bought a Euro Headlight switch from ECS, it doesn't turn off the day time running lights, they come on when I release the e-brake just like the oem switch allows..

I am in the midst of wiring up the Bold Sport kit that comes with the OEM mirror with build Rain/light sensor. It comes with a nicely made wiring harness with OEM terminals already installed. The kit can be found here for reference. [URL]
Right now I am following the directions from myturbodiesel.com [URL]
It instructs to add the power source to the fuse box. No problem. Says to add the RLS to fuse pin 17 and the Mirror power to pin 7.
Here is the diagram they show.
The problem is on my '13 Golf R, 17 is already taken. I can certainly add to a different pin on the same bus. So not really an issue there.
The other issue is that there is no power bus for pins 7-11 on my R. What gives? There is a power bus on pins 1-6 but they are all taken already.

Just installed a euro wood/leather wheel in my wife's 03 Passat wagon. It had the MFD wheel previously.I've done the install numerous times as far as going from MFD wheels to GTI or R32 wheels and never had this problem.
Ran a jumper from pin 9 to 18 and modified the plug to the clockspring....I got the cruise working no problem and that's the toughest... I've double checked everything and think it has to be with the wheel itself. I see the wheel has TWO tabs for the horn ground. I'm only using one right now as that's how my R wheel is in my 03 Jetta (just pulled the bad and checked it). What could be causing the horn not to work?

I have a 2006 Sonata. My check engine light came on and also my ESC light. My car does not accelerate. It takes literally about 40 seconds to get up to 20 miles an hour. I called the hyundai 800 number and they said there is a recall for a "stop lamp switch malfunction".

I have a 98 Ranger 2wd reg cab 2.3L 5sp. Recently the airbag warning light was blinking 2-7 which indicates bad lamp in passenger airbag deactivation switch. Since the lamp has no numbers or markings on it, and my repair manual has no schematic on that part, where I can find the ma, wattage or ohm rating of the lamp? Or a part number / source for a replacement lamp?

Last night we went to look at some Christmas lights in a drive through park. There was a sign in the beginning of the park that said "Headlights off please." This seems to be impossible on the Touareg. I turned the headlight switch to off but the daytime running lights stayed on. After calling my salesman at VW, he asked many service techs how to do this and they have never been approached with such a question. They were stumped. The salesman told me that I can shut the daytime running lights off by depressing the emergency brake but that doesn't even work. The lights still remain on. Is there a way to shut the headlights off?

I'm looking for all my options for a constant or not constant power source to install a switch (an on & off toggle/other) for I could have my emblems light up without using headlights or parking lights.
Basically for you could only see the emblems on at night.
I originally tapped into the side parking lights to use for the front emblems and the rear license plate lights for back emblem.

How do we activate the rear fog on the Tiguan? I have been playing with the coding but have as of yet found a way to activate it. I am assuming that it will be one of the lights on the hatch that is supposed to be the rear fog...but can not find or get any info.
I have the parking lights active already...now I want my rear fog active as well. I don't care about the dash icon...but I do want the light to actually work. I have done this on all of my previous cars (run the wiring etc) but this Tiguan seems to be eluding me! [IMG] [URL] ....

I have led bulbs in the stock tray Because I can't find red bulbs to fit these tails. Can't put white bulbs because my brake lights will be white and NYPD will be on my case
1.w euro switch turned off one bar in 3rd brake light on and top two bulbs on but dim
2. When car is turned off switch off top bulbs stay on but dim but they turn off after a few minutes
3. Replaced both license plate bulbs and only the left side bulb will illuminate but if I turn the euro switch from on to off quickly the right bulb will Flicker as if it had a quick jolt of power to it.
4.turn signals are led ambers they blink way faster than stock is this normal?

Having a few electrical issues lately, that are really starting to irritate me. This is pretty random. OCCASIONALLY, not all the time. When I turn my euro switch all the way to the right, my windshield wipers will go across the windshield twice. Obviously the wipers aren't on. And I don't accidentally hit the stalk. This just random and annoying when it smears stuff across the windshield. I don't even know where to start.

I have been having an issue with my interior lights, namely all the dash lights (cluster, climate, stereo, etc)
I have to keep switching the euro switch back and forth until it finally switches on the interior lights. The headlights still work but not the fogs, unless the interior lights go on.
What this could be? Perhaps an electric problem? Faulty euro switch?

...while I didn't get the light sensor installed (since I actually use my cuppyhole to store my grarage door opener & EZ-Pass transponder0...
kept the Auto switch in...
with the DRL's activated (they are in the fog light position):
Off: DRLs
Auto: full lighting on
Parking: DRLs (plus I can use rear fog)
Low beam: full lighting (plus front & rear fogs)
and since activating the coming home and leaving home... the coming home works on "auto" position.

I suppose it could be unrelated but yesterday i was showing my coworker how easy it was to remove the headlight switch on my 2010 golf tdi (he has an a3). I took it out of the slot, unplugged it, plugged it back in, and slid it back into place. im sure i didnt yank on the wiring harness but who knows. I went to turn on my car and now i have an airbag fault showing up for the driver seat position sensor. I looked under the seat and everything is still plugged in, along with in the little access panel where the wiring goes.

I noticed that there is no parking light position on the headlight switch, so how does the headlight switch work? Either all OFF or all on? Or is the on position really "auto"

2007, 6.2l Yukon Denali ... Last week I had to change the headlight lamp on the passenger side. I had to remove the air filter box to get at the darned thing. I put everything back together and everything seemed to be working just fine. Except for one little detail, the gas mileage dropped from 15 to 16 mpg to about 13 to 14 mpg. This doesn't sound like much, but, when I towed our travel trailer the mileage dropped to 9 mpg (from around 13mpg before I touched anything). What I might have done to create this situation???

I have been having intermittent issues with the driver's side headlight. It will randomly fail for no reason while driving. This can often be remedied by turning the lights off and then back on again. The headlight will also fail not-so-randomly. Two triggers are driving on a bumpy road (we never get potholes in the winter in Ohio), and - here could be the clue to the problem - when I make sharp left-hand turns (90 degrees). What could cause the headlight to fail by making a left turn? The ballast has already been replaced once under warranty (which has since lapsed), and the dealer has wanted to replace the bulb since the xenon bulbs are quite expensive, and may not actually be the cause of the problem.
