I've been having electrical problems with my 2010 GTI for months. It began with occasional flickering of my R replica LED tail lights, which worked perfectly for months. Sometimes they'd work perfectly fine, but most of the time, I'd have to drive around with half the LEDs on with many of them flickering. I checked my fuses and my battery, all of which are fine.
I later installed an interior LED kit from Blast LED. The passenger footwell started flickering after a few weeks, and I tried putting a new one in that I know works, but it didn't change. A few weeks later, one of the roof LED bulbs started flickering.
I also have Spyder MK7 style LED headlights, where the drivers DRL sometimes goes out, but wiggling the cable/harness causes t to come back on. I could not figure out exactly what's loose, if anything.
Last week or so, my horn went out. The button on the steering wheel doesn't work, or when I lock the car with the key.
I just finished replacing my CECM which a specialist said might be the issue, and nothing has been fixed.
It could be that all of these parts have failed individually, but I find that very hard to imagine.
What could be going on here? I'm beyond frustrated and I'm very close to getting rid of this car, which I otherwise love.
