Independent light activation and lighting faults in 2019 VW Atlas petrol engine
(Translated from German)
Summary of the thread
The 2019 VW Atlas petrol engine has an issue where the lights turn on independently and display an error. The suspected cause is a faulty light switch. A similar problem was experienced with a 2017 VW Passat Diesel, where the issue was a faulty plug connection. The recommended solution is to communicate openly with the garage about the problem and to understand the repair process.

Hi, thanks for your answer! In my case, the headlights and brake lights come on just like that. Obviously they work, but they seem to have a mind of their own. It's a really strange problem. My Atlas has just 28912 km on it, so I hope it's not a serious fault. Did you have it so soon after the last service or was it independent? Thanks for the tip about open communication, I'll take it to heart! Best regards!

Yes, that does indeed sound quite strange, and I completely understand that you're worried. In my case it was actually shortly after the last service, so it could well be that there is a connection. I also thought it was important to always know exactly what was happening with my car. But in the end, the open communication with the garage and the constant asking really helped. So I'm sure it will work out for you too! Good luck and let me know what happens! All the best!

It sounds like you might have a problem with the wiper switch or the relay. Start by checking the wiper switch for any signs of wear or damage. If the switch seems fine, the issue could be with the wiper relay. It's a good idea to get this checked out by a mechanic if you're not comfortable doing it yourself. Please keep us updated on your progress. Do you have any other questions?

There could be several reasons why your engine won't start. It could be a problem with the fuel supply, ignition, or the engine's timing. Start by checking if there's enough fuel in the tank. If that's not the issue, check the spark plugs and the ignition coil. If you're not comfortable doing these checks yourself, I'd recommend getting a mechanic to look at it, especially as this is a safety-relevant issue. Please keep us updated on your progress.

Hello, I recently had a similar problem with my 2017 VW Passat Diesel. I would describe myself as someone with some car experience, but this phenomenon also prompted me to visit a garage. The diagnosis was a faulty plug connection. It helped that I communicated openly with the garage and kept asking what exactly was being done. The repair ultimately cost me 222 euros. Which lights exactly are coming on for you? Good luck and I hope the problem is fixed soon!
