Intermittent Door Card Lights

<< < (2/2)

I've noticed that sometimes my window switches (and corresponding door lights) take 2-3 seconds to come online after I've started the car - I think it's just related to the control circuitry rather than a break in the wiring - no biggie  :wink:

Seriously, this is weird!!! I noticed this last night and now I find this post describing exactly what I'm experiencing...

Here's a vid of what's going on in my car, is it similar?



I've never noticed this before but it's almost like the drivers side doesn't activate until the auto leveller has done its thing for the headlights and then voila, lights and power to the drivers door - strange!

I'm not convinced it's an electrical wire problem but I'm interested to know I this is normal.

Can anyone else post up a vid of theirs?

Mines doesn't do it every time, I'd say roughly 1/4 of the time  :confused:

On a stranger note, when I had my mk6, occasionally when driving along the footwell lights would come on for a 1/2 second, then go off again. Caused many WTF  :confused: moments!

Mk5Dom:
This is strange!!!

It hasn't done it since I posted this a week ago.

Sorry to be late to the party and bumping an old thread but i have had the same problem, i noticed an intermitten fault with my tweeter when the door was opend and what a supprise the door loom was fooked.

Although this has been identifed as a design fault with the jetta the golf is not covered under the same recall and thereofer i had to payup for the some german blokes design flaw :P

£189 later (i was told it was supposed to be more but VW honored my quote) im fixed and good to go...untill the loom breaks again as the length of the cables are the same as the previous one  :smiley:
