Quick Fixes to Common Volkswagen Eurovan Brake Light Switch Glitches
You can avert most brake-related glitches if you have a well-functioning Volkswagen Eurovan brake light switch. Doubtful? Well, just consider the operations of your van's brake light switch. It activates when you press on the pedal, allowing your Eurovan's brake lights to turn on. When you de-press the brake pedal, it does the opposite and turns off your braking signals. In essence, your Volkswagen Eurovan brake light switch operates in sync with your car's brake system. Lose it and you would have to deal with malfunction in the system, especially in your brake lights. Not only that, you can have a faulty Cruise Control System as well. Now that's a real deal breaker, isn't it? Good thing there are plenty of ways to diagnose and patch up common Volkswagen Eurovan brake light switch glitches. Read on for some tips.
Insufficient voltage
After repetitive presses on the brake pedal, do you still have your brake lights on? Not the brake lights? Possible. The brake pedal? No. Your Volkswagen Eurovan brake light switch? Likely! And this glitch can be caused by none other than insufficient voltage in your switch. To verify this problem, use an ohmmeter or a test light and access your Volkswagen Eurovan brake light switch, which is just under your steering wheel. There should be a voltage reading of 12 into and out of your switch. If you get a different reading, you might want to change your Volkswagen Eurovan brake light switch already.
Tacky switch
Alright, so your brake lights turned off when you released the brake pedal. Good. But when you pressed on the pedal again and tried to activate your Volkswagen Eurovan brake light switch so that the lights would turn on, you failed. You pressed again but nothing happened. This time, it might be a case of a sticky Volkswagen Eurovan brake light switch. The possible root cause, you ask? No less than a buildup of dirt and grime. Luckily, a reliable cleaning solution and a soft rag or cloth are there to help you fix a sticky switch. You would have to disassemble your steering wheel for a while, though. But that' s still nothing compared to the benefits of having your Volkswagen Eurovan brake light switch fixed.
You rely on your car's driving lights to send signals to other drivers-basically telling them what your next move will be, if you're about to turn, change lanes, or even slow down. In which case, you have to be sure that your Volkswagen Eurovan brake light switch is working properly. This way, you can easily activate the brake lights and warn other motorists to prevent rear-end collisions. To keep the brake light switch in good working condition, below are some maintenance tips:
Perform routine check-ups.
What's the best way to prevent extensive damage? Check-up! Common Volkswagen Eurovan brake light switch problems are just easy to detect, so it would benefit you well if you conduct regular inspections.
Around the switch
Make sure that the brake light switch is in good condition. Pay close attention to the sockets of your switch and take note of significant discoloration and/or corrosion in these areas.
Down the wirings
Check if the wirings are connected and good. A test light or an ohmmeter should make your wirings check-up easier. Take note that these devices should register a 12-volt reading into and out of your Volkswagen Eurovan brake light switch.
Along other parts
Lastly, keep an eye out for related parts too. Your Volkswagen Eurovan brake light switch might be in excellent state, but your brake lights or brake pedal could be failing somehow. And don't forget your van's fuse. All these parts, should they fail, will cost you really expensively.
Keep a clean switch.
Sticking is one of the most common Volkswagen Eurovan brake light switch troubles that can be remedied by cleaning. But if the buildup of filth and grease becomes too much for your Volkswagen Eurovan brake light switch to handle, you might as well resort to replacing the faulty switch.
Cleaning
With a soft cloth and a compatible cleaning solution, go to your van's dashboard and disassemble your Volkswagen Eurovan brake light switch for a while. Make sure your cleaning aids pass through every corner to ensure a spotless switch.
Replacement
Unfortunately, there are also cases when your Volkswagen Eurovan brake light switch has become too sticky already that cleaning just won't do. In which case, you have no other choice but to replace. You're still in luck, though. This brake light switch trouble is still easy to break, and the best part is that it would only cost you between $4 and $19.
