2000 Volkswagen Jetta TDI Logo
Posted on Feb 20, 2010

Have 2000 VW Jetta, turning signal stops working intermittently. starts signal then stops blinking during turn or sometimes it works fine, sometimes won/t. all bulbs working & all other functions on the switch works, cruise control, high & low light beam. I'm thinking it's the flasher relay.

I pulled my switch out of the dash and sprayed it with contact cleaner. Air dry and put back in. 2 years without a problem. If you're not electrical savy, I'm pretty sure there was a recall on that, and it should be replaced for free.

What part needs fixed when my turn signal blinker blinnks very fast and sometimes not at all.If I put pressure on the turn arm it will stop sometimes or clicking my high beams on or off sets it right

Flashing too fast means that at least one exterior bulb isn't working. IF its an intermittent problem, once bulb could not be making connection at times. next time its flashing fast, stop the car and look to see which bulb isn't working. Replace that bulb, clean the socket at the same time

Hi the turn signals on my vw jetta 1997 just stopped working as well as the hazard lights. The fuses appear to be fine. Any suggestions would be most helpful....Thanks!!!

it is most likely the flasher unit is faulty & needs to be replaced,this unit serves turn signal & hazard lights, you should find it under the dash on drivers side,it may be a square or round unit with a connector plug on the top.....hope this helps......cheers.

Blinkers only work sometimes

chevy had an issue with the blinkers and hazards not working all the time i found that when my turn signals stop working push the hazard switch until they blink then the turn signals start working again. its a faulty turn signal/hazard switch that needs to be replace costs about 30 bucks pretty simple to replace.

Turn Signals quit working

Sounds like the turn signal flasher is going bad. The easy way to find wher the flasher is hidden is turn the turn signal on and find the clicking, that is the flasher. The emergency flashers work fine because they use a different flasher.

1997 VR6 Jetta won't start intermittently on hot days.

Just a thought , maybe change your fuel cap. may not be regulating tank pressure properly.
