Interior lights

Hi all. I have a problem with interior lights. I know that there is no fuse in my Scirocco MK3 2008. I tried to connect VCDS and delete error but it appeared right back. Tried to disconnect battery for half an hour also no good. Any things you can offer?

Whats the problem your having? What is the error coming up as in VCDS?

All interior lights is not working at all. All bulbs are standard and all good.

Can you post the VCDS error?

Sounds as though you have a "short" somewhere in the circuit that is causing the protection circuit to shut down the module.

Did it just happen of it's own accord or were you changing / replacing bulbs when the fault occurred.

I was putting led's and all lights gone.

You've probably got a bulb or LED shorting the circuit. Check each light individually, take each one out one by one and each time you remove a bulb test to see if the rest start working, until you narrow it down to the bulb/led causing the issue.

Personally I would do it the other way and remove them all, reset the module and put each bulb back in one by one starting with the footwell lights as they tend to be the most problematic. I would also get them all working with normal bulbs before trying LEDs again. If you still want LEDs then replace each bulb in turn making sure it works before moving onto the next one.

The module measures the current drawn and if it's too low it prompts an error message, too high and it shuts the circuit down for safety.

If it now doesn't work with normal bulbs after being reset there is the risk the module has been damaged.

I tried that. Did not helped. What module is controlling these bulbs?
