My 2001 Golf Mk IV (TDI) has a reversing lights issue. I used to see them flash biefly off as I reversed on to my drive (reflected in the garage door) and not worry too much about it. But the "off" period got longer, and I investigated (wiggled) the rear light cluster wiring, but could find no obvious problem. Is there a switch attached somehow to the gear stick that can wear out?
Anybody had experience of this or have a suggestion?
Apart from street-legal issues, those lights are a great way for people to understand your intentions when they see the lights on, and the car stationary, otherwise they just think you've stopped for no apparent reason. :)
Cheers.
