Instructions for Removing the Third Brake Light

Model: Audi A6 MK 3, C6 - Years 2004-2012
Part: Light bulb

The so-called third brake light is installed at the center top of the rear window. To remove it, first take off the plastic cover strip located between the headliner and the rear window. This is secured with push clips, so pry it down to release it (use a plastic trim tool instead of a screwdriver). Next, remove the side clips that hold the third brake light in place and disconnect the corresponding connector. Proceed in reverse for installation, securing the light with the side clips, connecting the power connector, and repositioning the plastic cover.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
