Title: Bumps cause Interior lights to flash when driving
Post by: dazza on May 10, 2021, 07:30:07 pm

HI

The wife has reported that the interior lights flash when you hit a bump (they are in the off position not on door open)

I banged the headliner a few weeks ago and i made a flash.
Then i disconnected and reconnected the main wire that plugs into the headliner lighting area.
I thought i had fixed it but obviously not, The wife informed me that i should fix it  :slap: as it will run the battery out  :rolleye:  :signLOL: :doh:

The common sense approach would be to leave it until the battery does run out :thinking:
Or say the car has major electrical faults and needs replacing :drinking:

She also reversed into the neighbours car last week, it was his fault as no one usually parks that close. I now have to pay to have his bumper repaired.
The golf was in good nick until the wife started driving it. I don't let it upset me anymore. Id love to have that as my daily. :sick:
