Wing mirror indicator

[Ranbeer Singh]

Hi all,

My drivers side wing mirror indicator has stopped working. Can anyone advise on how to fix this? I have searched the topic but have not been able to find anything.

Thanks in advance.

I'm guessing the LEDs have gone - if so the best place I found to get a replacement is VW

Or use it as an excuse to swap them over for the Inpro smoked indicators

Thanks chaps...

Anyone know the costs involved?

Is it an easy fix or shall I leave it with the dealers?

So i dont have ti take the entire wing mirror off? I'm presuming the actual lens clips out with a screwdriver?

^^^^ here's a guide for you (click the link) on changing the indicators. Its not a big deal, once you've done one, you'll fly through the second one. As mentioned, get some smoked repeaters (indicators) while your at it.

Did a quick search earlier but couldn't find them anywhere. Awesome used to sell them but can't see them on their site.

InPro who made the smoked indicator lens went out of business a couple of years ago so finding new ones anywhere will be a great achievement.

Inpro ones are hard to find (rarer than rocking horse do do), couple of links below, both from the USA,' bought mine from one of these companies but can't remember which.

InPro smoked repeaters/indicators (same as mine in the pic above).....

Or non Inpro ones from parts4euro.com (below), I've used them a fair bit and have had no problems but others have had with delays and bad communications.

Hi All,

My indicator started working yesterday for 30mins so I dont think it is the bulbs... after it stopped working I got it checked by VCD and the follwing is shown:

Address 42: Door Elect, Driver        Labels: 1K0-959-701-MIN3.lbl
   Part No SW: 1K0 959 701 M    HW: 1K0 959 701 M

   Coding: 0000692
   Shop #: WSC 01279 785 00200

1) Does anyone know what this is??
2) Its my drivers side not working so isnt that Right Mirror???

Any help would be much appreciated.

They seem to go faulty gradually.

My left one started to go dim. Still flashed but barely visible in daylight. Replaced for about £13 ish (I think) from VW.
My right seems to be on its way out. In cold/damp weather it does 1/2 bright / full bright / off / 1/2 bright / full bright / off......

Both showed the same faults through VAG-COM.

00109 - Left Mirror Turn Signal Lamp (L131)
            012 - Electrical Fault in Circuit

I had a look at opening the passenger one up to change the LED's. Smashed it to smitherines in the process. Strong adhesive and very brittle.
