Golf tail light problems
Noticed right tail light is not working on a 96 Golf. Obtained bulbs
and went to replace. The existing (2) right tail bulbs appeared to be ok. Further investigation showed that the right brake light and reverse light are not working either. The right amber turn signal works, but the brake light also flashes very dimly--suggesting a ground problem. The left side cluster appears to have all bulbs working ok, and the center high stop lamp doesn't work at all. I turned on the running lights again and tested voltage at the right side tail light bulb. Nothing. (The left side showed voltage, of course as that bulb was shining.) The left side bulb holder has numerous connectors attached to it (perhaps leading to the right side and center brake light). The right side has just two plastic wiring connectors plugged into it. One has a single wire and can be removed. (There is slight corrosion visible.) The main connector which has many wires wouldn't budge. I think it may be corroded together and I can't remove it. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to remove this without harming the wires or bulb holder assembly? I'm hoping that the electrical problem will be a simple case of corroded connectors. |
