What's wrong with my turn signals--2000 Volkswagen Passat Wagon?

Source: Yahoo! Answers

I have a 2000 Volkswagen Passat Wagon (GLX Model), and the turn signals intermittently don't flash. Sometimes they do/sometimes they just light up but don't "blink"--either in the dashboard or on the outside of the car . . . Does anyone have any suggestions about what could... Read More

  • The turn signal flasher relay is part of the emergency flasher switch. A very common failure but I am not aware of a recall on them. Replace the emergency flasher switch and you should be good to go. Reference:ASE Certified Read More
  • I might be the blinker or flasher control. Not sure what the name is it has been a long time since i changed one but their should be a small metal or plastic cube about an inch square. Might be located under the dash with the fuses or on the fire wall. If that is not it could be a wire is shorted out and makes contact... Read More
  • First thing I would do is pull of the lens and pull out the bulbs and clean the sockets the bulbs go into with some sandpaper plus the bulb ends themselves. Then be sure the bulb fits in tightly. If you still have a problem after all of that then perhaps it is the turn signal unit itself.
  • I had the SAME problem with my '01 Jetta. Just take it into a dealership. Those models have been recalled so they will fix it for free!

Other Choices:

Compared to most other mid-size sedans, the 2008 Volkswagen Passat has a poise and sophistication that’s unrivalled by any of these other models, except for maybe the Accord and Malibu. The new Accord has an especially attractive interior design, while the new Malibu combines a good-looking instrument panel design and comfortable seats with one of the smoothest rides in this class. The Ford Fusion and Nissan Altima both forgo some ride comfort for sportiness; in the case of the Fusion, its interior is quite basic and road noise is higher than in most of the other models, but it’s especially fun to drive, with great steering. The Altima’s backseat is smaller than the others', and its ride a bit firmer, but it also feels quite sporty. Then there’s the Toyota Camry, the best-seller that in current form is still a mid-size benchmark, with a spacious interior, soft ride, and respectable performance. But it suffers from subpar interior materials and build quality that isn’t always perfect.
