How do i fix indicator lights on golf 4 2l. 2000 model. Bulbs is fine , bought a new relay , still not working.

Have you tested the turn signal switch is voltage leaving the turn signal switch? I would think it is the switch that is the problem assuming all the fuses related to the lights are ok and not blown out.

Rear lights not working

Possible headlight switch would be my first guess.

1994 Chevy C1500 truck. No rear brake lights

Most likely this is a brake light switch issue. Replace switch.

If your emergency flashers don't work, all flasher bulbs are fine, but flashing too fast, then check and replace Hazard light switch.

Why both turn signals don't work

For the defroster:

Turn the defroster on and check for 12v at the connector on the window. If you have 12v, check for breaks in the element (the thin lines running across the window). If you do not have 12v and the fuse is good, the culprit will most likely either be the switch or the wiring.

For the right park light:

Check the bulb socket. You should have 12v at one terminal (with the park lights on) and ground at the other. If the voltage and ground are ok, you either have a bad bulb or possibly a bad socket. By bad socket I mean they can sometimes distort and not allow the terminals to make good enough contact.

Hope this was helpful.

I have a VW Golf 'S' reg in good working order but driving home the rear lights have gone and it's not the fuse?

Check rear light bulb sockets for corrosion, then check the light switch and the associated relay.

Left rear tail light does not work

have you had any work done on it sounds like wire may have been cut check for power at fuse and if you can get to wires close to fuse check there and if you can get to wires probe right before the bulb socket cause the socket may be the culprit .

Left rear brake light stopped working but bulb and fuses are OK.

These are Dual Function Bulbs. They control the Parking Lights and the Brake Lights. This Bulb is Burnt out on the Brake Coil inside the Bulb. I have actually seen Bulbs that were Bad But you could not Tell by jast looking at them. It should be fine with a New Bulb. Please Rate My Response! Thanks!
