This Sunday out of the blue 9 exterior lights on my 2011 golf TDI with stopped working.
The following DIC check messages displayed:
Front right low beam
Front right turn signal
Rear left turn signal
Rear left brake light
Check license plate lighting
Front right fog light
Left front side light
Rear right side light
Right back-up light
I verified that all the lights mentioned above where in fact not working. Once I got home I checked the fuse box. I removed each fused and reseated. All looked ok and nothing was corroded and nothing looked out of the ordinary.
As soon as I put the cover back on all 9 lights that where not working all of the sudden came on. I removed the cover to look around some more and saw nothing out of place. The multiply red and one black wire on the front of the fuse box are all tight. I put the cover back on and the 9 lights are still out. I slapped the top of the box and the 9 lights started working again. I closed the hood and turned the car off and went inside to watch the super bowl.
This morning the 9 lights where not working again. I popped the hood and slapped the top of the fuse box and the 9 lights all started working. I drove for about an hour and they continued to work.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what is going on?
