The Volkswagen Passat headlight switch has small contacts that complete the circuit when the switch is turned to the on position. The contacts do produce carbon deposits over time that causes them to fail. If you can jiggle the Volkswagen Passat headlamp switch and the lights go on and off, than the headlight switch does need to be replaced. We carry the OEM and Aftermarket Volkswagen Passat headlamp switches that meet all OE manufacturer requirements for fit, quality and durability.
If your Volkswagen Passat fails to start, and the starter is working properly, the next thing to check is the ignition switch. Typically if you have to play with the key to get the Volkswagen Passat starter to crank, the switch is failing. We recommend replacing the Volkswagen Passat starter switch as soon as you notice the switch beginning to fail. This will keep you from getting stranded. The Volkswagen Passat neutral safety switch on vehicles with automatic transmissions can also fail causing the car not to start.
