2004 v8
I recently went camping and had the back lid up... and the light on the lower portion would not go out for an extended period of time...( at least 15 minutes long ) then if I opened a door I would have to wait again... the same with the interior lights of the storage area... any way to change the duration for this? had to finally use duct tape over the lights...
Is there a way to turn the daytime running lights off?
2004 Tourareg V8x....
I noticed last night that the Reg they gave us to drive has lights above the floor mats. They never turn off, is this normal. Also the rear head rest seem to be up about 2" higher than the seat. Even if you push the button on the bottom they do not go down any further. So when you look in the rearview all you see is 3 headrest. I caught that middle one out of the corner of my eye and thought i had a passenger with me!
The button on the center console next to the air ride says Lock under the picture of the t reg, it also has up arrow. what does that do? I pushed it a few times and nothing happened. I went to look it up but there is no owner's manual
I just bought an 07 Touareg V6 today and it did not come with a user manual. How do i turn on the fog lights? It has them and i see the icon for them on the light knob, but i can't get them on.
View 6 RepliesYou can turn parking lights on on left or right side via the turn signal feature. I can't see a way to turn all parking lights on. What am I missing?

How do I turn of the NAV Warning accept and the seat belt chime? I don't have easy access to a VAG-COM?? Will the dealer do it for me?
I have a 04 V8 Automatic. In the last few days, only once in a while, with no repeating pattern, it has had trouble starting. The starter cycles but the engine do not turn over.
Battery: I have reviewed the battery charge by checking the voltage on the dash meter before attempting to start and it is consistently over 12V and at 14V when it is running. Usually after multiple attempts it starts or in some cases if I wait and come back it starts. I have never had to jump it. Based in this I ruled out the battery since - if it was drained or not holding its charge I should not have been able to start it - correct?
Items draining battery: I read many posts indicating problems with items such as the compass draining the battery after the vehicle is shut off. I do not think this is the issue either since the battery is holding its charge.
Fuel Pump: I am thinking it is the fuel pump not properly priming when I open the door. I tried to test this by opening the door, listening for the pump priming then attempting to start it. It started whether or not I heard the pump prime. Should the pump prime every time after the engine is shut off? Is this a valid test or does the pump only prime after driving? Is there a better way to validate if it is the pump? Would this show up in the error codes? (I do not have a way to check the codes other than taking it to the dealer)
My 04 V8 didn't come with the manual when I bought it. I found a document online showing that the 2004 only needed service/oil change every 10K but I wanted to double check that as it seemed a lot of miles to be between services, and I'm at 14,990 miles right now so if I need a 15K service I need to get it scheduled.
Also, how do I turn on the heated steering wheel thing? Just for the "cool" factor I want to test it out but I can't find the control anywhere for it. I'm assuming my car has it since it has the pass through ski bag.
I have a 2003 Honda Pilot with about 152,000 miles on it. Recently while driving if i have the radio on or have my ipod hooked up, the volume will turn all the way down and the dashboard warning lights will turn on. It only lasts for a few seconds at a time but it happens very randomly. Sometimes it won't happen at all and other times it will occur every few minutes or so.After the few seconds the volume turns back up to its previous set level and the dashboard lights go back to normal. The way the lights come on seems pretty random as well. Sometimes it will just be the "parking break" light and other times it will be all of the warning lights. I'm not sure what the problem is. Maybe a fuse is shorting out?
View 4 RepliesWith my '04 V8, recently on my dashboard the selector gears light-up entirely, where as typically just the selected gear is highlighted with the orange box when operating. Make sense? P, R, N & D all are highligthed in the orange color.
It does this inconsistently in both automatic and tiptronic. Just last year I started using the vehicle to pull our pop up camper. No problems last year and it pulls fine. Two weeks ago on our first weekend out camping, using the tiptronic I noticed that all speeds where highlighted.
Sound I be concerned about this? I called local dealer, they had no clue. I called VW and they said take it to a dealer. The vehicle seems to be operating just fine.
The ABS light comes on as well as the tire monitoring system light. I have had it to the dealer and they can not find anything wrong.
View 1 RepliesLat week I dropped my '04 V6 Touareg off at my dealer for some minor warranty work. On the way to the dealer, I noticed a weird noise and vibration whenever I turned the steering wheel. I mentioned this to the dealer when I dropped the car off. They called me later saying that there was a leak in the steering rack and the whole thing needed to be replaced. The car wasn't safe to drive, so they would provide a rental.
Today, I get a call saying that the steering rack finally came in, but that upon installing it they noticed that something connectet to the steering or front suspension (I can't remember what it was, tie rod perhaps?) was bent, probably from hitting a pot hole, and that therefore the replacement would not be covered by warranty. Needless to say, this will not be cheap.
I do not take my Touareg off road, and I don't remember hitting any pot hole so hard that it could have bent something. My questions are:
- Is this a known or common problem/issue with Touaregs?
- Could hitting a pot hole or something a long time ago cause a leak many months later?
The dome lights on my 2008 RX400H wont turn off when doors are closed. Door ajar light goes out but dome lights stay on.
View 6 RepliesI messed up when jumping my car. Two fuses needed to be replaced, and also the fuseable link block. I've replaced those, but emergency informational lights are still on. I checked the areas: brakes worked, brake fluid okay, etc. So how do I turn off the lights? I know when I change oil, the maintenance light will stay on and has to be turned off ; so is there a way to turn off these lights/?
Also, do the diagnostic tools at Autozone work on hybrids? I've not tried it, but curious.
We just purchased a 2007 Prius. Above the driver seat and passenger seat are two interior lights in the ceiling. Our manual only discusses the main interior light in the middle. The separate lights have on and off switches but neither work.how to turn these lights on??
View 2 RepliesThe dash lights are blinking. Outside temp says E. Doesn't always turn off. Afraid I may have a problem with the fob key?
View 19 RepliesIt only does it when it is fairly cold out and when it sits overnight. I will get into my 2000 4.0 Explorer and when I put my foot on the brake my right side turn signal comes on, it doesn't flash it just comes on and stays on. When I let off the brake it goes out. It will do it maybe four or five times and then work fine all day. Its just the right side and the indicator on the dash comes on too. I haven't looked at a wiring diagram yet to see if there is a connection between the two.
View 7 RepliesI have a 2007 Prius 5 with 205,000 miles. Just recently, while Im driving the Red Triangle blinks on intermittently along with an annoying beeping. I took to dealer and they diagnosed error code C1300 which indicated that I needed a new "Brake actuator assembly with skid control ECU". I declined price tag because they said it's nothing critical (despite that it sounds rather important), and car will run fine without replacing this part. However, they said "nothing we can do about the intermittent red triangle and beeping".
Is this true? It's a very annoying noise. I know that it is possible to turn off the reverse beeping. Isn't there a fuse associated with "beeping" that could simply be disconnected?
I have a 2007 F150 that it's brake lights and turn signals have gone out. What's wrong? I've checked fuses and connections.
