Cornering Lights
The cornering lights on both sides, on my Ruby, quit working for some reason. The front turn signals and the respective side marker lights flash but, no cornering lights. There is no power going to the sockets.
Has anyone run across this problem on their C4? I did do a Forum search on this subject and nothing comes up so far.
I do have my Factory Service Manual and I will have to get it out and start tracing the circuits to see where the problem is but, that is for a day when the weather gets warmer.
I was just curious if anyone else has run across this problem. I hate non-working lights.

Looks like it's time to drop the hush panel and check the HL supply to the directional switch, Pretty straight forward but a damn nuisance maybe working under the dash.
At least everything is in one connector, you shouldn't need to chase stuff allover the car.
The FSM @ 8A-201-10 shows the connector location and 8A-202-14 the pin-out.
Good luck

Hmmm, I just had the A/C Programmer unit replaced and now I wonder if something got disturbed in the process of replacing that module.

My cornering lights story: I was getting the car ready for state inspection here in TX. They don't do much during the inspection, but they do make sure that all of the lights work (it is a good moneymaker for them to charge you $11.00 for a license plate bulb). Anyway, last month I was checking and found that 3 of the 4 "cornering" lights (I guess the back 2 are technically backup lamps) were out. So I crawl under and pull the bad ones. The filaments all look good. Then I measured them with my ohmmeter and they all tested good.
I noticed there was a lot of aged (the car is an '89) dielectric grease on each of them, so I cleaned them off and reinstalled them. They all worked. These are 29 year old bulbs...
I did have to replace one of the fog light bulbs, but that was it for this year.
