FORE!!! its slicing to the left. LOL

I have read from a VW tech that there is a module that connects to the signal switch. at the connection there are pins that corrode in that area. the corrosion tends to cause the switch to have this problem. the switch and the module need to be replaced and then a factory scan tool is needed to code the module to the vehicle.

If you are going to use Golf terms at least get it correct . The call of warning is ’ Fore '.
