1985 VW Jetta Diesel, problem with lights. The

1985 VW Jetta Diesel, problem with lights. The high beam lights and tail lights do not work. Also, the fan does not cut off and the A/C does not blow cold.

  • lksharp May 17, 2009

    The low beam lights work fine, but when I switch to high beam, there are no lights at all. The tail lights never work even though I have brake lights and turn signal lights. There are no side lights or parking lights. Could this problem still be a relay problem even though the low beam works?

    I am the one that owns this VW, and I found that the problem was that the fuse box had corroded on the inside. I replaced the fuse box, and all is well. Thanks fellows for your help.

If both my regular headlight bulb and high beam head light bulb on a 2009 VW Jetta are both burned out and I only replace the regular bulb and not the high beam, should the regular highlight bulb stil

no --there are two separate light power systems for the bulbs but a shared earth wire. Bulbs blow from power fluctuations that occur from loose earth wires, dirty earth points so check the way the bulbs are put back in and ensure that they are tight.
