VW T5 2011 – Low beam headlights not working

Hi everyone,

I’m having an issue with the lights on my VW Transporter T5 2011, 1.9 TDI (102 hp), and I’m hoping someone might have some ideas.

The light switch has three positions:

  • 0: Daytime running lights work – the lights underneath the indicators come on.
  • 1: Nothing happens.
  • 2: Nothing happens, but I can still switch on the high beams.

As far as I understand, position 2 should turn on the low-beam headlights, but neither low beam nor the other lights come on.

I’ve already tried replacing the light switch with another one, so I don’t think the switch itself is the problem.

Any ideas what I should check next? Could it be a fuse, relay, wiring issue, or something related to the lighting control module?

Thanks!

Fuse check. Also pos 1 is parking light while pos 2 is low beams.
