Hope someone can help as I am going mad here!
I have an 2003 130TDI Passat saloon. When I switch on my headlights to the first setting (side lights) neither the front or rear lights on the driver side come on. The indicator, brake and fog light are however ok on the same side. The front dipped beam on the driver side is also ok as I think this is on a seperate circuit.
To cut a long story short went to change a bulb in the rear (driver side) and when the unit holding all the bulbs was out I think it made contact with the "lashing eyes", the chrome bits used to tie in luggage. Any way I think this may have shorted the circuit as I heard a spark but cant find the fault. I have checked the fuses near the driver dash and these are OK as are the bulbs. Is there anything obvious I am missing out?
