What model and year is your car? The '90-'92 Golf/GTI/Jetta/GLI have
a relay (#10) that's energized when you turn on the light switch.
That allows +12Vdc to flow to 4 fuses, #1 & #2, left and right low
beams respectively, and #11 & #12, left and right high beams
respectively. The relay is also energized by the headlight flasher
incorporated in the turn signal switch. Do the lights come on when
you pull the turn signal stalk towards you? If so, then it's the
main headlight switch, if not, it's the relay. SInce you say none of
the none of the headlights work, it's not likely that all four of the
fuses are blown. The '89 and older cars don't have the relay. The
power goes directly from the main switch to the same 4 fuses
#1,2,11,12. So if that's the case (your car is an '89 or older),
then the switch is most likely bad.
I am trying to decipher the Bentley but it doesn't seem to indicate
that
there is anything between the switch and the fusebox.
There's the relay #10 if it's a '90-'92, nothing if it's an '89 or
older.
