Bus headlight relay

« on: October 31, 2007, 05:03:12 PM »
Does anyone have a late model bus headlight relay I could borrow? I ordered a new one, but it won't be here until the 6th. Without it I have no headlights, but if somebody could loan me one for Friday I could drive the bus to the cruise-in. Part number on the old one is 411 941 883C.

Anyone?

I'll check in my stash here at the dealership, check the p/n again, though.  It looks like a 583-c in the photo you posted.

Oops, yeah I mixed up the numbers. The original part number is 411 941 583C.

The new (Brazilian) part I ordered is VWC-111-941-583.

Oh yeah, and earlier this month I had my Jetta up at the dealer and they replaced the thermostat. When I got the car back the plastic battery cover was missing. I went back about it and don't know who I talked to but he told me they didn't have the cover and not only that but they didn't even disconnect the battery when they had it. I know the battery was disconnected  though because my radio station presets were cleared. Do you have any spare battery covers up there for an '03 Jetta?

Russ, I'll check around the shop tomorrow and see what I can find out about the battery cover.  '03 2 liter, right?

Hey Russ.  I checked around the shop but couldn't find your cover.  I talked to the service manager about it and we've got a replacement cover on order for you.  Sorry for the mix up and the new cover should be here some time next week.

You're welcome Russ.  I'll be out of town all next week but the cover should be here tuesday or wednesday.  If you'll get in touch with the service manager around then he'll get you taken care of once it gets here.

Rick, your relay worked but it turns out that wasn't my problem. I also needed a new switch which I also have on order now. In the meantime we made a ITS (Improvised Toggle Switch) to bypass the switch and power my headlights. I'll be able to return your relay to you when my new one comes in.
