HELP! Interior Monitors Fault - FIXED

Hi,

turned on my interior monitors using vagcom, but iv tried locking the car with me in it and moving, doesnt do anything, iv tried the switch by the drivers seat, no joy, vagcom showed a fault saying "Interior Monitor - open circuit" iv cleared that

other thing to note is my rear convinience lights dont work either

any ideas?

I had that same fault registered on VAG-Com when I checked it today, cleared it, and it hasn't come back yet,I'll check again later in the week.

i guess your interior monitors are working though? mine arent

 

[cordobabrendy]

the monitors are activated after 30 secs or something iirc.

yeh, 30 seconds or somewhere close, and i find you have to be in certain areas - almost seems as though my sensors have "blind spots" in the car ?!?!

 

[Paul TDI]

Not sure if they are, I'll check they are working properly tomorrow, neighbours wont be too happy with my alarm going off at this time

Rear courtesy lights are working.

 

[CupraSteve]

might be bulbs or sumthing for the courtesy lights then

FIXED - got em out, and managed to fix both problems, the nearside one was totally unplugged, so that lights and int. monitors started working on that one, the other side still wouldnt work, so i took it all apart and found the little switch contacts were bent and all out of place, i can only assume someone has been poking around in it before, after fiddling about with the contacts got that one to work so now we have light and internal alarm sensors!! excellent, also took off my MAF sensor and cleaned that so two good jobs done today!
