2005 vw touareg 4.2
What fuse number and location controls left front and back turn signals?
Ignition refuses to come up (no light displaying on my dashboard) hence, car won’t start. I have tried checking and fixing all fuses but to no result.
Though when Key is inserted into the Volkswagen Touareg 2004, I hear it usual ‘Clingy’ sound; telling it’s recognises the key perhaps. Yet the vehicle won’t turn on ignition neither start engine (no single light appears on dashboard)
NB: All light components are working just fine except for the ignition.
What could be the possible problem and solution?
My car had the same symptoms. How did you solve it?
I’m trying to find out where the relay for the horn on a 2012 VW Toureg is located. My horn doesn’t work, and the fuse is OK. Can anyone help please
Eric
el problema lo puedes tener en el anillo del air-bag
Hi my radio,sunroof, indicators and left light not working could it be a relay and if yes which one
Hay
