98 golf Ignition switch

Nov 24, 2004 5 Replies

I've been having intermittent headlights, AC, wipers, etc over the past few weeks getting steadily worse. Wiggling the ignition seems to affect it. Pretty sure the switch is going. Anybody an ignition switch on one of these? I'm fearing it is a real ordeal.

Thanks, Actually found another site with a pretty good write-up on how to do it:

Went pretty much as they discribe. Not terrribly difficult. Pulling the adapter off the steering shaft is by far the worst part. Vice grips and a gear puller are required

So was that the problem? The ign. switch?

Yeah, that was it. I'm back on the road and everything is working just fine.

Congrats to you then and thanks for the update!
