2013 Passat Rear Turn Light no longer working
Asked by Guru15XCL Aug 23, 2019 at 05:33 PM about the 2013 Volkswagen Passat S
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
The "bulb fail" light appeared on my dash indicating a bulb failure. I checked
all lights and realized that the rear passenger tail/blinker light (outside) was
no longer working. What was odd is that usually when that bulb is out, I get
a really FAST clicking sound when turning on the blinker. This time, it blinks
as if the light is working fine (i.e., regular not fast interval).
I replaced the bulb - still not working
I replaced the entire socket - still not working
I checked all fuses on driver's side fuse box - All are fine, blinker still not
working.
Any ideas as to what is causing this? Called the dealer and they will charge
$150 for diag (which would go toward repair) but I hope to exhaust all
measures before spending that money.

Anyone? Still looking for help and advice on this. Break, turn light and hazard light all use same bulb on this side and none are working.
I am having same problem. My brake lights and signals aren't working along with hazards. I was told could be turn signal switch.
I am having the same problem. Did you figure out what the cause is?
Well its not brake switch and not turn signal switch. If i push the plug that goes into tail light its self the light will come on. So right now I am ordering the tail light socket itself. If thats not it it has to be the whole wiring harness itself. I pray its not cause that is $$$
Ok so I just said i was replacing the socket but I figured let me tried one more time. That connect in photo was not getting enough power because it was sliding back and forth. Well I took a pair of needle nose pilers and clamped down on it just a little where i saw it was fully touching and no moving. And bam it works now!
Where is this located at where you clamped down on it????
Anymore pictures? I’m having the same problem
I am having same problem. Left turn signal not working. The turn signal flasher blinks at normal rate inside the car. Changed the buld, still having same problem.
