[Vwdiesel] Headlight switch

[mikitka]

Well I have been told by several individuals at work that I do not have any
tail lights on my 91 ECO jetta.  I went to the car to check and they worked,
until I turned on the head lights. Then the tail lights went out. I turned
them back to parking light mode and they came on and when I switched back to
head lights they stayed on.  Any suggestions as to if I can clean the switch
or is it a lost cause and I need to get a replacement?  

 

I called the dealer and they want $110 for a switch and told me that only 91
and 92 jetta switches work. Is that true?  I looked some on line but didn't
find any. I found all kinds of other switches but no headlight switches.  

Thanks,

Nick
