To repair the VW steering warning light on a car, you will need to:
-Check the power and ground connections at the back of the headlight switch. Make sure they are clean and tight.
-Check for voltage at the headlight switch connector. There should be battery voltage when the key is in the "on" position and no voltage when the key is in the "off" position.
-Check for continuity between pin A of the headlight switch connector and pin D of the multifunction switch connector.
- There should be continuity (check with an ohmmeter). If there is no continuity, replace the headlight switch.
