wassup guys long time no drive =/ well i traded my 04 5at white coupe for a 04 silver 6spd coupe. but now im having some issues. my vdc off stays lit when i turn the car on in the morning its fine but in order for me to drive i have to turn it off and from there it stays off without being able to come regain traction @ anytime. my tails are not working =/ but my brake lights work fine when i hit the brakes. the lights in my radio is also not working but the radio plays fine. has anyone gone through this or any reccomendations no im not under warranty soo this is not a dealer fix =/ thanks

 

have you taken out the head unit, or taken apart your dash at all? possibly check the plugs behind there? Other than that, i think you'll have to face the music, and take it to the dealer!

 

check your fuses.

 

What's up bro long time. Check the fuses for the light situation but it sounds like you have some electrical problems and the previous owner had an aftermarket radio. With the VDC check to see if the previous owner installed the TRACTION CONTROL MODULE maybe they never took it out.

 

im just tryin to avoid that wretched d word (dealership) cuz there hella expensive telling me 150 per hour and its gonna take more than a day =./

 

you should do a search on the forums, i think this same set of symptoms has come up before. i believe there is 1 fuse that can blow out all this stuff. check out this thread....

check all 3 fuse boxes on the car, maybe something is blown. also check in the underhood fuse box the "fuseable links"... they are big *** fuses that look like relays. i believe they are hooked up to a few different systems so that might be a good place to start

 

the fuse for the lights you are talking about are behind the battery
