Hi Guys

Having problems with my other car sort of a golf but with a boot, 2006 Jetta.......

Anyway went out tonight to lock up etc and noticed the radio is still illuminated, not the display just all the red around the buttons etc.

Tried everything apart from taking out the battery, also noticed the dimmer switch doesnt work, anyone come across this? Wondering if its related.

Worried the battery may be flat by the morning :scared:

Thank you sooo much for all your help, guess thats why my main car is now an Audi and gone away from the Golf.

For what its worth trying a new Dimmer switch today but obviously I wont tell you how I got on as that might be helpful and we dont dont want to be that do we!!

Good grief.
