Front foglights not working on the switch.

No i set the coming home lights with carista about 3 years ago. My mates borrowed my carista and i wont see him for a week so i cant do anything with it til he gets back off holiday. Just seems weird them not coming on since it come back from a service at vw?.
Doh...
Yes whatever posistion i put the switch in the front fogs dont come on and the light on the switch doesnt illuminate either but the rears work fine. My bus came with led rear lights as standard and I've swapped the rears out twice and alls been good. Wonder could it be the travelinlite rears causing it?.
Not really answering your question, but I used to have a B7 Passat. Not sure if you are familiar with them, but they have the DRL in the lamp next to the fog light. I coded my foglights as DRLs and reduced the brightness to match the original DRLs next to them.
Now what this did was stopped the fogs as cornering light function. This was because the BCM was telling the fog lights (now DRLs) to turn off when the headlights are on. Corning lights work with dipped headlights, so no juice was getting to them.
It could be a similar thing with yours. Something is coded that has inadvertently switched off another function.
Oh, and in a way. it's a good job it wasn't you with the switch in the wrong position. You would have had to surrender your man card for that.

I dont' believe so.
Do you have access to VCDS or OBDeleven - just to verify the switch itself + wiring up to the BCM is working?
Meanwhile for future reference can anyone having VCDS + T6 with front foglights @Loz @Robert @Deaky to confirm at which measuring block the front fog light switch resides in.
My guess it's 029-2 but can't confirm because mine doesn't have front fogs - thus on mine it never changes
Anyways, the other switch light positions are in block 029 and 031 (see OFF-ON's in the picture).

This just worked for me. Front fogs weren't working when I changed to LED bulbs. Couldn't work it out but this did the trick! Thanks!
