forsh21 Posted November 7, 2010 Report Share Posted November 7, 2010 Hi, Fitted a new brake light in the spoiler about 2weeks ago, tested it and it was working fine but now for some reason it keeps blowing the fuses, everytime I put a new fuse in and press the brake pedal the fuse pops, I'm using a 10amp fuse.Now I know that you have to mod the brake light because you can't buy the original one anymore, as anyone else had this problem?

Mike_M Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Replaced my spoiler brake light a couple of weeks ago too.Mine just plugged in and then slotted straight into my spoiler without any modification........I also added silicone as the brake light was slotted in to seal it from the elements properly and also the spoiler to the body work for peace of mind.Been working fine ever since.Have you checked the connector plug to make sure the pins are not touching or the cable is not pinched as you put the spoiler back on, as it took me a couple of attempts to get the cable out the way as it was quite long on mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted November 8, 2010 Report Share Posted November 8, 2010 Now I know that you have to mod the brake light because you can't buy the original one anymore, as anyone else had this problem? CheersMod the brake light? In what way? And its still very available from VW as they are showing 10 in stock of 6e0 945 097 B.Sounds like you may have a wire trapped somewhere thats earthing it out to the body, so I'd start by removing the brake light and checking there first.

forsh21 Posted November 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 I was told that you have grind abit off the sides due to vw not stocking that item anymore and stocking one very similar which needs a few mods. i've disconnected it for the moment.
