My break lights in my 01 vw jetta only work once in a while

I have brand new bulbs in the rear.The break lights hardly ever work and when they do they just flicker on and off.I think it is the switch but i don't know how to get to it or what i have to do.

The swich is located just above and in front of the pedal its self. volkswagon has a recall out for a lot of those brake light switches. The first thing I would do is call the dealer an see if your is onr that has been recalled. they will replace it for free if so.

I have vw 2012 jetta TDI where the running/marking lights front/rear and dashboard lights are out.

Potential foundations for light issues in 2012 VW Jetta TDI: really look at wires, assess bulbs, wiring issues, flawed light/dimmer switches, control module, or battery. Counsel a repairman for precise finding and fixes.

Hi austin here i have got vw jetta 2008, today when i was leaving for work, i saw steering indicator signal on in my cluster, what might be the problem.

If light is on all the time and not blinking take apart the turn signal on the side of car that the light is on . Both front anr rear remove the bulb and look for corrosion . If you find it clean it off of contacts if you cant remove ithe corrosion you may have to replace fixture. .Once cleaned it should solve your problem. if this was helpful please leave good feedback.

Rear tail and brake lights out 97 Jetta

I believe this car has a bulb with two fillaments for side and brake lights, it is unlikely that they are both burnt out at the same time but possible. It is more likely that the bulb holder or a ground connection is rusted or loose. The fuse generally covers all rear lights.

2001 VW Jetta rear running lights out. bulbs good, fuses good.

Almost sure it is a recall for a relay. Call the dealer, I had a 2001 VR6 with the same problem, and it was a simple, free recall.
