The lights are controlled by a Can Bus signal. Car > manufacturers have had problems buy computer type chips! How old is the VW and how do you find the reliability ? I have always bought those new, a Beetle and a Golf in 73 but lots complained about small bits falling off in the 80s and 90s so I avoided them when I replaced the Golf in 2006 with a Hyundai Getz which never had a single warranty claim and no bits failing at all until just recently when there is some problem with the windscreen washer bottle which wont fill anymore which I havent got around to fixing. I did have a few problems with the Golf, one head gasket problem under warranty, one alternator diode pack failure, the bonnet release cable broke, indicator relay failed, used quite a bit of oil and it wasn't a leak. The more recent than the beetles have always struck me as a bit more complicated than they really need to be. But some nice stuff like the current Golf even helps you with the reversing camera when backing with a trailer. That would be quite handy, I cant even see the trailer when its empty with the Getz. Planning to replace the Getz with something since it has no cruise control at all. |

I found out about the elecrics when I fitted a tow bar. There is a box in the boot for the tow bar electrics. The box has cables going towards the front to connect to the can bus and two thicker cables to connect to a fuse box at the front. If there is a problem with a trailer electrics a warning is shown on the panel infont of the driver. -- Michael Chare |

But mine aren't leds. Nothing in the car is that except maybe a few dashpanel lights. Very little is related to CAN BUS. I think 2 pages out of 70 or so in the wiring manual. (The wiring manual is about 300 pages. I'm estimating how much of that actually shows wiring. ) |

Some old wire used cotton under rubber, for similar reasons (so the insulation COULD be removed, not permanently bonded to the wire). |
