Guest nellyboy Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Hi im new to the site and i will try and help...i have a mk5 M reg cab..starting with the basics check the bulbs..then if you unplug the wireing connectors and check all the prongs (five or six from memory) are all inserting correctly and not missing contact when inserted...then yes check fuses..see if that fixes it..if not its a wireing/earth fault..keep in mind the fuseboxes play up due to moisture on mk5`s..

Guest nellyboy Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 well good luck...try going back to when the problem arose...ive known people put a single element bulb in a twin element holder..sometimes its the small things causing major problems..hope you get it sorted...
