    The wires in the frame were in a bundle like that already and you just trimmed them down to clean metal wire is what I'm understanding. Thank you for the help, I've had this problem for about three years and it was driving me mad trying to find the problem.

    Has the "opended door" light on the dash came on when the interior lights hasn't worked? I have three phenomenon with my MK4. 1. I have lights in the car and in the back doors (the front door is not recognized, idk why) 2. I have no lights and when I push the button the "opened door" light comes on the dash. 3. When it is cold (especially in winter) sometimes the frond door lights work. Will your method solve these problems? Did your car do the same? Thanks! 😁

    Yeah everything worked properly apart from the interior lights. Dash door open was working fine. I'd be plugging it in diagnostics and see if the front door modules are working. Also check block connection on both sides behind the kick panels. See if there is any corrosion.

    Hi ... I have this issue with my MkIv GTi. Interior lights do work , but the door open ajar on the instrument cluster does not light up at all even when I turn the contact in.The lower lamps on the doors that light up when the doors open dont work,when I open the bonnet or trunk no door open light on the cluster.And also really weird ,the central locking on my key only fires up the hazards just when I unlock the car.I just checked the wires you mentioned they are fine,no corrosion nor anything.Checked the fuse 14 and replaced both 15AMP fuses on the Comfort Module. Please help me out here
