Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2000 - Tail Lights Malfunctioning

Both left and right tail lights don't work but brake lights and reverse work fine. Fuses look good and bulbs are fine. Could it be related to the 'circuit board' type housing that the bulbs are in? If it is, are they in series meaning if one goes bad the other side won't work either?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Water Condensation In Tail Lights / Spare Tire

I have water in my Jetta's tail lights and its really annoying. I just had them both out on the weekend and checked out the foam gaskets and they were both fine but i replaced them with an older pair I had that looked in even better shape but basically the same condition...

Rained pretty hard last night and now there is like more water in them then before... I made sure I tightened them down good because they were not that tight when I originally took them off.

There is water condensation in my spare tire well and making my carpet wet and starting to fog up my rear windows..

Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: Rear Turn Signals Fast And No Tail Lights

My '99 F150 is having wiring issues. It started with a left flasher being fast and the rear bulb not working. I put in new bulb and that didn't fix it. Then I realized that I also had no tail lights. The reverse lights are good and the brake lights work too.

So far I have searched for and repaired suspicious splices done by PO, added a ground wire that was cut off from the trailer wiring harness, checked every fuse that I could with an ohmmeter and I pulled the multi function switch and tested it with an ohmmeter also. It tested fine but I did find one of the female pin connectors had pulled out of the harness. I managed to get it back in and seemed to click into place alright. Somewhere over the course of all that I now have both sides of my flashers fast and still no tail lights. Good news is that I haven't broken my brake lights or reverse lights yet.

Could I have a bad flasher relay? Earlier in the process I did have my 4 way flashers working correctly and a couple times I even had the turn signals going. Now, none of the rear blinking lights work but the front ones go 90 to nothing and I still have no tail lights. My truck does have the auto lamp thing.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Car Would Start, Then Stop Just As Fast

I been at this for weeks and just cant figure this one out. My daughter came home from college and her 1999 MK4 Jetta with 2.0 died in the driveway. It would start then stop just as fast. I scanned it and got a list of ground faults and a fuel pump relay fault. I took the next step and jumped the relay out. The car started right up and drove with out any problems. So I ordered a new relay and awaited to finish this easy repair. Since then I have tried the following.

- A dozen relays from various sources.
- New relay panel.
- New ignition switch.
- New Fuel pump.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Rear Tires Wearing Fast

I'm trying to figure out why I am having problems with my read tires wearing fast. I knew my car was out of alignment and took it to a shop and they told me I have -1.05 negative toe and bad camber.

Can some shims fix my issue or would I be better with a whole new rear beam. As far as I know the car has never been lowered, but how would I be able to tell?

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: If Push The Pedal Fast, It Brakes Harder

I just changed all my flex lines to stainless steel and my pads and rotors were replaced. I had some issues with calipers dragging. I used a power bleeder to bleed the brakes all the way around. Now my pedal feels really weird. If I push the pedal fast it brakes hard then it goes to the floor. If i just push it soft, it will just slowly go to the floor without braking at all.

Golf IV / Jetta IV :: Distinctive Fast Ticking Near Engine After Running For A While

I have a 2001 VW Jetta 1.8T manual transmission... I just purchased it...upon starting it up, it runs fine... After I have run it for a while, it gets a distinctive, constant, pretty fast ticking sound near the engine...

It's hard to pinpoint where it is coming from, but it seems to be coming from the right side of the engine or from an EGR valve?

It only makes the ticking sound AFTER it has fully warmed up and i have driven it awhile...and only at idle...if i rev up the engine, it goes away instantly...but starts again when it idles...

Golf V R32 :: How To Remove Tail Lights

I just bought OEM R32 tinted tail lights. How do you remove the OEM stock tails. I've been trying to find some info on this subject but, only found this,

I'm pretty sure that he is working on a GTI. Is it the same as a R32 because mine doesn't really look the same. my interior trim doesn't seem to peal that easy or at all. Do I need to cut the trim with a blade or remove any plastic trim pieces to access the lights?

Golf V R32 :: Tail Lights Bulb Out Warning

So, I'm not entirely sure if this has been covered, but I dealt with the bulb out warning with the LED tail lights. I am not running the fourth wire. I had tried searching for a while but found no answers. Most conversation about this issue are buried in old threads.

The usual DIY disclaimer applies. In the Central Electrics module (09), access Coding, then Long Coding. You will need to make sure that Byte 19, Bit 3 is checked (Diagnosis Rear Parking Lights Active).

Here is my current coding:

E68D8B6700041500470A0000F000000000918095C000100000 000000000

I have verified all operations (parking lights, brake lights, turn signals [amber]) and no flickering as well.

Golf/GTI VI :: Condensation In The Rear Tail Lights

So I've been using the rear window spray a lot since it's been snowing and the salty water/snow/air has covered the rear window a lot and I've been notice water dripping into the rear when I open the hatch but previously thought it was just some snow that melted in/around the hatch area and was dripping. Today I noticed both tail lights that are on the hatch have condensation in them. When I popped the plastic covering on the hatch that you use to replace the bulbs, I noticed there was the blue spray fluid. So I removed the two tail light and I can't seem to figure out how to get the bit of water out of the white and red parts. Do the lens come off any way? I now realize the leaky rear spray thing is a common issue and just ordered the two stupid 50 cent pieces that costs 31 with shipping from ECS
