Always verify compatibility using your vehicle's VIN, model year, and transmission type (Manual Transmission only).

What is the operating voltage for this switch?

The switch operates on a standard 12V electrical system.

Does this switch require any special tools for installation?

While installation is generally straightforward with its plug-in connection, basic automotive tools may be needed. If you are not comfortable with car repairs, professional installation is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Brake lights not illuminating

Check the bulb fuses first. If fuses are intact, the stop light switch is a likely cause. Inspect wiring connections to the switch and ensure the switch is correctly installed and aligned with the brake pedal.

Brake lights stay on constantly

This often indicates a faulty stop light switch that is not returning to its 'off' position. Replace the switch. Ensure it is properly seated and that no obstructions prevent its normal operation.

Intermittent brake light function

Loose connections or a worn internal mechanism in the switch can cause intermittent issues. Check and secure all wiring. If the problem persists, the switch likely needs replacement.

New switch does not resolve the issue

Double-check that the correct part number (V10-73-0098) was purchased and is compatible with your specific vehicle. Verify all electrical connections are secure and that brake light bulbs are functional.

Key compatible models include VW Golf V, POLO, TOURAN, AUDI A3, A4, SKODA Octavia II, and SEAT Leon, among others.

Installation: This switch is designed for a plug-in connection and typically mounts near the brake pedal assembly. Replacement usually involves disconnecting the old switch and connecting the new one. It is recommended to consult your vehicle's service manual or seek professional installation if you are unfamiliar with automotive electrical components.

Care: The switch itself is a sealed component and generally requires no user maintenance. Keep the area around the brake pedal clean to prevent debris from interfering with the switch's mechanical operation. If the switch is located in an area exposed to dirt or moisture, ensure its connection remains clean and secure.
