Don't worry about VW. He is actually pretty entertaining around here. And besides, he really can't help it - he's in Oklahoma. He can be very helpful (when he is lucid and/or sober....).


Let us know what you find out.

The horn problem is loose relay socket in PDC, and not anything to do with dash and tail lights. Got bezel off...didn't find any melted wires, but am convinced the headlight switch is the prob. Don't have park lights either and probably haven't for awhile. They have about 20 rams at JY maybe will pull one there first. Got approx 12 gal of fuel in tank. It's funny now,earlier,had just got home from work....hot, dirty and beat. No worry. No offense VW and hope none taken.

I'd buy a new one. Most of them come with lifetime warranties. Sure you'll save a few bucks at the JY, but you could be going back there again too.

About 4 months ago I lost my radio, interior lights, my cluster was moving erradicly, horn didnt work, and their was that constant dinging, I pulled all my cab fuses out, blew all the connectors out with my air compressor and replaced all the fuses, no more problem.

Well I did get a new one (headlight/cargoswitch) but that didn't fix the problem. The horn works if i push the horn relay at angle, but still no tail lights or instrument or park lights. Headlights,dome lights .radio. brake lights all work. All switches on the steering wheel work. Any other ideas appreciated, thanks..

Thanks Jason,and HeyYou. Those are the only two fuses I didnt check because said airbags/something else that seemed unrelated and the yellow clips didn't want to let them out. Will let you know. Stay coool!
