It's the turn signal relay. VAG engineers were smart and they put two relays in it, one for the signals and one for the hazards. That way, when you get in an accident for not signalling, you can put your hazards on when you're pulled over by the side of the road. It takes 5 minutes to change it.

 

Problem solved for me. Didn't realize it just pried out. Took 30 seconds.

 

Had the same problem but yet the Hazards still worked, replaced the Hazard switch and all well again.

 

Mine did the same thing. Hazards worked fine but no turn signals. just replace the swithc and all will be well.

 

ok so do i just pop out the hazard switch and throw in a new one??

 

yeah it is really easy. You have to take off the trim that surronds the switch. When you do that be easy because the clips are pretty week that hold it on. but if you break any off you can just reglue them. I took out my radio just to give me a little more room but you really dont need to if you dont want too. here is a DIY https://www.audiforums.com/m_146946/tm.htm

 

Don't even have to do that. Just pull the radio out (don't unplug it, just slide it out), reach up under the hazard switch, push up on the bottom of it, and the top will pivot out toward you. Pull it out, unplug and replace, push it back in the dash, and slide your radio back in. Done.

 

ok so what if i have a 7" screen instead of my factory radio. Because that doesnt exactly just "pop out" like the factory radio..

 

It comes out easier since you don't have to unlock it. Do you have a motorized retracting screen? If so, no sweat - that's what I have. If you have a screen that doesn't fold away, but is flush mounted, then it may be more of a pain. Still, to take the surround off, don't you have to remove the console to access the lower bolts that mount the surround? I can't remember for sure, but if so, you're probably still doing less work just by removing the screen.

 

This forum is alot of help, had the same problem and found the answer within 30 sec and didn't even need to post a new thread.

I got one question, where's a good store to buy this part online for cheap? (Has to be same part you would get at dealer)

Or, does the dealer have anacceptable price on this part?
