No lights / indicator / seatbelt chime

[johnymingle]

My lights left on, indicator left on, and seatbelt chime has stopped working, and I've walked away a few times and left the left or right lights on, by leaving my indicator stalk down or up. I cant find anything g on you tube!! Just hoping someone can give me a bit guidance as to where to look and fix it

Hi best start would be to get the car scanned for faults then work forward from there.

Yes I did that steve, but my scanner doesn't go so indepth. Im not prepared to throw big bucks at it......I would like to know where the chime is for starters!! Thanks.

There's a picture of the buzzer in the back of the cluster here:

What's the point? Unless you solve the root cause of the problem it is likely to keep throwing up other faults and error messages.

I can test it

The Buzzer itself is part of the cluster.  if its the buzzer then its (unless you are a master craftsman with it comes to soldering) a replacement cluster thats needed.

Completely cost prohibitive in my opinion.

 

As for testing for errors, yes you can throw VCDS on the car, but i dont remember ever getting an error on the computer for this problem (ive had 2 different cars that suffered with the same thing... an A4 and an A3).

What i might suggest before you go ripping into the dash to look at the rear of the cluster, is checking other connections around the dash.  particularly around the light switch or the indicator stalk.
