does the interior light stay on when doors & trunk are "closed"?
interior light is 3-position switch (off / on-when-door-open / on-always)
and if that comes on in 2 positions, not just 1, it suggests the door/trunk switches might need wiggling/wd40/replacing. they're little rubber bumps on door frame surface that door pushes in when it's closed.
Well let’s say when I first start the car for a trip and the sun is not out I remember to turn on the Headlights then I stop for gas.
It beeps at me to turn off the lights. The Sun is out. I continue on my trip with Headlights OFF since w/sunlight I can read the dash.
Then a cloud blocks the sun, I drive past a MT or hill and the car is now in the shade. I can not read the Speedo. A sign appears 25MPH. and I’m actually going 70MHP. Do I quickly take hand off wheel, fumble switch, take eyes off the road to turn on the headlights? Do I jam on the Brakes and get rear ended. Do I guess my speed is safe and end up in the ditch or in a HEAD ON COLLISION?

My friend replaced my driver side headlight bulb on my 2004 new beetle turbo. It doesn't work and now my ac compressor doesn't come on, the EPC light, check engine light and the brake light are on and there is a constant beeping noise. Also, he replaced the passenger side one and that seems to be ok. The fuse in the box on the battery tests ok for power. Any ideas? I saw a posting from a couple years ago that sounded very similar and the response was to replace the cable from the battery to the alternator? Or was it the fuse box to the alternator? PLEASE HELP!!!!
I had a 2001 Beetle that had an electrical problem that caused a car fire -- burned right down to the frame! I bought a Hyundai which I drove for a few years and then bought a used 2008 Beetle convertible. I love the car, but I keep having light issues. Have changed out both front headlights, trunk lid light and now left rear light, which was MELTED!! The first two were under warranty but these last two are costing me $400-500 to replace! What gives? I was talking to a guy in the dealer service waiting room who had a Tiguan that had 16 light changes before they discovered it was a fuse panel! Anyone else have a similar story! I am afraid this bug will "flambe" itself too, with electrical issues. Sandy
