Title: Interior light staying on
Post by: Hulmie on 07 December 2010, 16:56

When i lock the car up normally all interior lights should go out. but now the ones at the front of the car are dimming but not going out?

What could be causing this? Possible bad earth? Only changed the battery over on friday

Have you had problems with the doors locking and unlocking also after you open it?
Im thinking the modual thing in the door, as my friends any is doing somthing simler and has had to switch the lights off to the 'OFF' in the car.

doubt vag com will pick up this fault.
it could be either a dodgy micro switch or dry solder joint in the door lock module.. have a search to find the thread but pay particular attention when re-assembling and dont make the same mistake i made!
