Hi All,
Hoping someone can help here....

My wife's just returned with our 2002 VW Passat 2.0 pertrol estate complaining of a buzzing noise coming from the car. Checked and found that the buzzing appears to be coming from the relay behind the Hazard Warning switch !!

Now to complicate things further - an examination of all the lights I find that the side lights on the nearside are not working (front and rear) ??

Checked bulbs and fuses (altho I didn't suspect a fuse for each side of the car) and these are fine.

I have noticed a slight 'electrical buzz or crackle' coming off the indicator stalk when choosing to turn left or right but it's short lived and self resolving. In fairness this could be coming from the relay and I've never noticed as it only last 1 second...

Here's my thoughts....

1. Can it be the indicator relay on the hazard switch that's causing both problems.... ? and/or;
2. Can it be the indicator stalk as this also controls the parking lights...?

Just to clarify the indicators are working fine - so is the right side parking lights, whether being controlled from the light control switch or by placing the parking light on via the indicator stalk.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give
