Scirocco Register

Any one had a problem where the number plate lights are on on their own completw with the dash lights. Its been fine, layed it up for 3 weeks and now its bust. Bloody cars.

I have another couple of issues with the electrics which i pulled the fuse on, the after market central locking went mental and the rear wiper runs on its own. These I pulled the fuse on till i had the time to sort but the lighting faults an urgent.

It sounds like an earth fault to me, but from a quick look at wiring diagrams, I can't spot a common link, that said I'm most of the way through a bottle of edelweiss beer after a long day so perhaps shouldn't be looking at magic string maps!

Does it make a difference having the ignition on or off?

headlight switch i reckon. have you got a spare you can substitute?

Plus 1 on the headlight switch for the lighting issues.......I have 7. let me know the part number if you need 1.

there on with no ignition. I'll pull the switch at weekend. I'm of next week so

have some time. Instead of work and diy.

well.....

quick squint has found 1 scotch lock and the o.s rear lamp full of water. Will spend a bit more time tomorrow. now its stripped and drying out

Ment to update this.

Back lamp is now dry(with a drain hole added till I can get a new lamp) and its spot on and now theres no water leak in the boot!
