Subject:      Auto Tranny Housing Lights - The Answer
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

To All,

To everyone that responded to my original post, thank you very much. If your Vanagon has automatic transmission, it has two little lights inside the gear selector housing. These lights are supposed to backlight the gear positions. Mine had burned out. I secured from my local VW dealer two replacement bulbs, each about the size of a grain of rice. But these bulbs did not work in the original bulb holders. My question in my original post was, “What will fix this problem.”

The answer: buy new bulb holders to go with the replacement bulbs. The new bulb holders are designed to work with replacement bulbs and do not require soldering to make electrical contact with the bulb. The VW part number for the new bulb holder is 437-919-039. Quantity two are required. My dealer charged me less than $4.00 for the pair.

Thanks again to everyone that responded. Long live the list.
