CanaryCharger Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Is it normal for the headlights symbol to illuminate on the dash every time brakes are applied? Also, I've noticed the tail lights flicker sometimes after I close the hatchback door. Just wondering if anyone has run into this before?

gazzell Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Hi, Sounds like the wires going into the tailgate have broken and are shorting out.If you look at the top of the tailgate you will see a rubber sheath. The wires for the lighting and rear heater and rear brake light run through there, The constant opening and closing off the tailgate causes theses to wires to break and short out. Seen this a few times on VW and Vauxhalls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanaryCharger Posted June 21, 2015 Author Share Posted June 21, 2015 Thank you for the quick reply...I will look at the wires as soon as I can, and hopefully it's an easy fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
