Hi all I have a 1997 VW Sharan TDI (110). I have both the owners manual and a Haynes manual (Ford galaxy manual). Nowhere does it list the relays/numbers/ location/function etc. Anyone know where i can find this ? Reason is that when driving at night, I switch from dipped beam to main beam no problem, but sometimes it wil not switch back to dipped beam - it stays on full beam. I have to turn the rotary light switch to 'parking lights' for a second and then switch it back to normal position in order to return to diped beam. I suspect that the relay is probably 'latching' in the full beam mode and won't spring back to 'normal' mode Has anyone come across this before ? Cheers Ferg

Thanks Fred I'll give it a go over the weekend and let you know how I get on. Ferg PS - Anyone know where I can get a parts fiche for this particular item on the net ?. I would like to be able to see how things fit together before I attempt to dismantle anything. ;)

Hi all I am new to this forum. I have recently bought a 97 VW Sharan (I know I know its not a Galaxy but its almost the same :unsure: ) and am having a problem with the interior lights. The lights work when the overhead switch is switched to either 'always on' mode or 'door open'mode. Thing is, they never go off when car is started when in 'door open' mode. They also stay on when the door is closed. As a result, I have to leave the switch in the 'off' position and manually turn it on when I get into the car so the kids can find their way in. From what I have already read on this forum, the 4 door switches are wired in parallel, so even if one failed, opening/closing any of the other 3 doors should make the light go on/off. What puzzles me is why the light will come on (and stay on) even with all 4 doors closed. Has anyone come across this before ?. ANy help or hints that you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Ferg
