Hi All - have a bit of an issue that I wouldn't mind some assistance on from someone with a bit of technical knowledge
Last week a van decided to come a bit too close and smashed into the drivers wing mirror - smashing the outer casing (not the glass surprisingly!) and the side assist warning lamp is no more!
The impact has ripped the plug connector off the wires that would normally just clip into the connector on the new lamp. It has been into VW Commercial Lincoln today who don't know how to fix as there are only 2 wires (Black and Yellow) and 3 pins on the connecting plug.
Seems a huge waste of money to have to have the whole unit replaced (over £400) just for the sake of a connector! - will happily do so if absolutely required as want the van to be in tip top condition, but surely there is a fix for this as a huge waste otherwise as everything else is fine
Does anyone know
A: Which of the Pins these 2 wires should connect to
B: where can i get a replacement connector?
C: Who sells the replacement side assist warning lamps (Other than VW Dealer - as have burned my bridges with my local one after todays debacle)
Many thanks in advance
