Phaeton :: Interior Lights Don't Come On When Car Is Unlocked / Door Opened

Car is a UK 2004 W12.

I've tried everything I can think of or find to get them working but the interior lights won't come on automatically. They work if I turn them on manually, or once I'm in if I press the 'door open' button on the lights they will work when the doors are open.

But surely they should come on when the car is unlocked like every other car? It's getting quite annoying getting into a car in total darkness!

Phaeton :: All Interior Lights That Come On When Doors Opened Started Pulsating

All the interior white lights that come on when the doors are opened started pulsating today. It's a very rapid pulsing that's pretty rhythmic and constant not like what I would expect from a short. What might cause this?

Accent MC (2006-11) :: Interior Light Did Not Come On / FOB Battery Went Dead

So this morning I was going to my car and pushed the unlock button on my key FOB....nothing. Weird, thought maybe my FOB battery was dead. Opened the door with the key and noticed that my interior light did not come on. My battery is only a few months old, so i didnt think it could be that. Went to turn ignition...nothing, no crank no lights dimming..zero power at all. I opened up the hood and as i did so, i saw the lights on the interior come on. I tried to start it and it started right up. I let it sit for a minute and the car just died out. No power again. I looked at the battery terminal connections and all seemed to be ok, nothing loose etc. Then in about a minute, the power came back. Ended up driving the car to work, about 30 miles, and so far it is ok. I'm afraid of getting stuck somewhere, but i dont even know where to begin to troubleshoot. Figured it can't be a fuse or it wouldn't cycle power like that. Connections to the battery seemed ok and even when i wiggled them, nothing happened.

I have an 07 with about 115k on it.

Passat (B5) :: Interior Dome Lights Illuminate Red When Instrument Cluster Lights Are On

Need to know if the little icons on your interior 'dome' lights illuminate red when your instrument cluster lights are on? (Just like the power window and dash vent icons..) Audis do, but I've never seen a W8 Passat at night to be able to tell.

Looking for a pic of your interior roof lighting? (Not the center console one near the sunroof control...that of course lights up and shows icons.) I'm looking for the ones towards the rear of the car.

Phaeton :: No Response - Car Dead After Heavy Rain

My car is suffering after being stood out in heavy rain - which there's been a lot of recently. When I go to unlock it there is no response and starting requires using the key to be turned left first. Keyless entry doesn't work. All electrics are dead until the car starts. When it's not raining everything's OK again.

Phaeton :: Creaking Noise Seemingly From Interior Roof Area

When driving into a driveway at an angle or over rough roads I have a creaking noise above and behind my head. I tried different positions of the sunroof to see if that eliminated it but to no avail.

Phaeton :: Driver Keys Don't Remember Interior Temp Settings

I know the different driver's keys that come with the Phaeton gang to a bunch of memory functions (seat position, radio stations, etc.) I thought that one of the functions the keys remembered, and would change depending on which key was use to start the car, was the driver and passenger side temperature settings, as left when the car was last turned off, for the key used to start the car that cycle. My car doesn't do this (it leaves the temps right where they were when turned off, regardless of key used.)

Phaeton :: TPMS Warning Light Has Been On Due To Dead Sensors

Ever since I bought my 04 V8, the TPMS warning light has been on due to dead sensors and a disconnected controller (G model controller), and I had just learned to live with the alert and the icon on the display for the time being. Last weekend I installed a 6 button cruise control switch and recoded per Michael's instructions. The switch works fine and everything was good. After a couple of drives with the new switch I noticed that the TPMS was not giving me the usual failure message or the fault icon anymore. If I hit the Vehicle button I still get the same fault message in the J523 screen but no warning in the cluster, and no warning upon startup. Ran a VCDS scan and the errors for the TPMS module not being there are still present as they always were.

Phaeton :: Hesitation When First Pulling Away From A Dead Stop Especially When Cold

I need to better qualify when it happens (it may be always, not certain) but when I first drive off in my car in the morning I find the initial 10s or so there is a delay before my power comes on stream.

So I am moving, but very slowly and the V8 doesn't seem to be pulling. There is a stop sign at the end of my street that is maybe 5 houses away, so there isn't a lot of time for acceleration, but its mostly momentum before I hit the stop sign, even if I had depressed the accelerator.

It doesn't jerk or anything when the power comes online but it is very strange to me that there is a delay. Is this normal or an indication of a problem or wear item somewhere?

Phaeton :: 2008 Dead - Faint Clunk From The Rear Of Car

I went out to my 08 3.0 TDI Phaeton this morning, pressed the key fob ...nothing..opened the drivers door put the key in the ignition.... nothing, except for a faint clunk from the rear of the car. Called the RAC, luckily got a good tech. His diagnosis:

4v on the big battery on the left of the car
11.4 on the right battery

He jumped started the car (followed the correct procedure)
Car started no issues.
Car had not been used for 1 day drove perfectly well beforehand.

Also he noticed quite a lot of water in the right hand battery area ( I noticed a musty smell when opening the boot) . I'm now worried about which battery is faulty. RAC man said the smaller battery on the right seemed not to be accepting charge.. The cars electrical system is massively complex and electrics and water do not mix...

Passat (B5) :: Interior Lights Won't Work - No Voltage

No interior lights work, so I checked the fuse # 14 according to the manual. Fuse is good, and the hot side of the fuse socket has 12+ volts. I pulled down the main interior light switch that's housed with the sunroof switch, and there's no voltage there at all.
