Hi all,
I have a 99 Jetta GLS with just over 80k miles. I have owned th car for about 6k miles and have had no problems except with the electrical system. Basically, sporradicly the driver side tail light will sometimes work and sometimes won't (about 50% of the time) and the same problem with the left license plate light. The brake lights work fine. It has done this since I bought the car, I have replaced the bulbs a couple of times (though they have never been blown) and tried cleaning the contacts (which weren't corroded). I have also had the trunk light and the passanger vanity light stop working completely (which I read from earlier posts could be merely the switches going bad). I can live without the trunk light and the vanity light but and ready to fix the tail/plate lights. Does anyone have an easy fix or know how much this might run me at a mechanic? (I'm in LA and am looking for a reliable one by the way if anyone has suggestions). Thanks in advance for the help!
