Kezbo 0 Posted April 21, 2008 Help! Ive got a strange problem with the lights on my Corrado (1993 VR6). This has only happened this morning and I am worried I will be in flat battery city very soon!!! The light switch is in the off position however the side lights front and rear (with dull main bulbs) is on where the ignition is on. When the ignition is turned off the drivers side side-light front and rear remain on!! The indicator switch is not up / down (i.e. its not the parking lights that are on. Any ideas what the problem is? I suspect dodgy head light switch or some short somewhere. Anyone got any good ideas? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paul20v 0 Posted April 21, 2008 sounds like a switch problem to me disconect it and if they go off problem solved then buy a new switch , and check the loom while your there just to make sure the small earth wire is fine . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kezbo 0 Posted April 24, 2008 Thanks for your help guys. I am 99.9% sure it was the switch, was all crusty sounding when it was switched and something in side was rattling when i took it out. Got a replacement at VW (£55!!! how?!) and all is well. Interestingly the new switch has a green back light whereas my old one was a yellowy orange - I like the green, matches the speedo lights.
