problem #1

Beetle 4-cyl

  • Manual transmission
  • miles
Wiring harness inside headlight assembly wires crack and corrode and causes headlight to periodically go on and off. Corrosion seems to be due to the different types of metals in the wiring. When the same type of metal is used to reconnect the wires the problem is solved.
