I totally agree with you bro....they know why the wires break so why haven't they done anything to fix the problem....I have a 2013 EXACT same problem...🤬🤬🤬😠😠😠
I said the same thing you said to the dealer and he said something like I'm opening and closing my trunk too much. It is a design flaw and I am furious over how much this is going to cost me. Thank you.
Thank you so much for making this video. The dealer was gonna charge me 400 for the part and another 400 for labor just to fix the damn trunk. Extremely disappointed in VW for a long time fan like me.
Me too I reported on vw sight and I love my 2010 , I've had it for 5 years and a few months back my trunk and lights had all the issues stated here..... dealership 1they told me 5 hunnit. Me and my kids crawl through the back seat to open it. Thanks for the advice on going to BACK report it again.
I'm dealing with same problem with the same car, and I'm glad I ran into this video because I was about to order some expensive reverse light bulbs, because in reverse light doesn't work, one brake light, and my trunk opener
Efrain Carrillo bro just remove the harness and solder it if you can' or use but connectors take your time one by one don't waste your money on the harness
I have a 2010 cc too and having the same problem. I took it to the dealer and they wanted to charge $400.00 for the time to find the problem. But I took the car back home and found the issue. I would check with Deutsche Auto parts and pricing maybe a little cheaper than the dealer. I start having this problem before installing a rear view camera. I am going to review to see if wires are servery broken before buying the wiring harness. Also, check out the OBeleven plug. I brought mine for diagnosing the vehicle. It is a great buy versus pay for the actual VACOM plug.
Same issue with my 2012 CC .... man you're right this should be under warranty and it supposed to be properly protected from something like opening the trunk ... They are losing customer this way PS VW
I have the same car...and have the same issue.My trunk won't open and my rear fog lights are out too..after this am done buying a VW..the warranty should have covered this B.s
Thanks for your video. VW dealer service here in NJ is quoting me $515 + Tax (parts and labor) for trunk harness replacement on my 14 CC with backup cam @61000 miles. Does it sound within norm? And if I can also get your view, he says that car needs coolant flush ($200) + brake flush ($200). And the the rear brake pads and rotors are to be replaced ($515). I got the car new in Feb 15 and never had brake pads replaced so I suppose it is pads time. Plus I am having the usual 60k service. Oh and yes wheel alignment he says is $129. So in total I'm going to be hit around $2100! Not happy.
I have a 2014 and the same issue. Your bitch fest was the most so synced to the point of all that I've watched. Now I just have to find a video of how to replace the harness. Thanks, Brother.
2018 Passat everything works but can't get the latch to activate.. I had to dig some but this bend is the same in the harness. It was a pain for me to get in the trunk and to open up the wraps to see.. but there it was.! One broken wire... You can tell where the bend is the worst. just have someone open and close the trunk a little while our in there and watch and see where it moves the most. I think VW uses wire from China and the insulation gets brittle in the winter and it splits. Then this break in the outer coating.. creates the weak point for the copper wire to bend....and from there just simple repeated use breaks the copper as well.
I had a similar issue where my trunk kept up opening on its own and alarm would go off at random time; even at the freeway... dealer was charging $500+ to fix. At the end, I noticed the same issue with wires. After connecting wires. Issue with trunk went away.
Well I have a 2015 and when it rains water is trapped in the trunk which runs inside the trunk if I open it! My taillights is being affected by this I'm just so sad going through this ordeal.
I have the same issue with my Volkswagen CC too and took it to a dealership to diagnose the problem, they said it was the harness but my emblem thing worked? Anyways Mercurys Vehicle break down protection covers it. You don't have warrenty?
I have a 2009 Volkswagen Jetta SE 2.5 I had a wiring harness issue in the rear to my lights reverse lights totally out calls me nearly $400 for wiring harness absolutely ridiculous
FML I tried to the replace the trunk light bulb and it was on for a second and later turned off come to find out my tail light are off and the interior lights are also not working 🙄
Chris Brown my advice to you is re-connect the wires that are broken it’s not hard Peel back the liner in the trunk look at the wires and re-attach the ones that are broken that’ll well be the easy way out
I have the same issue of my 09 where the right trunk light will sometimes come on but the tail lights are out but the reverse light is working and on the other side is the same but the opposite where the lights work but the reverse light does not work....fucking stupid as person who designed this must've been fired
@@CubanLink-vf5gh Yep a break in the harness. Haven't replaced it yet. Is there a way that people can file complaints together to escalate this for a recall?
I totally agree with you bro....they know why the wires break so why haven't they done anything to fix the problem....I have a 2013 EXACT same problem...🤬🤬🤬😠😠😠
We need a class action to hold VW responsible for the design flaw!
Hi Marcus, I have a 2013 as well. What did you end up doing to fix it?
We should file a class action suit against VW
vjethk hey what’s up bro just wondering if you ever fix the issue with the wiring in the trunk
We need a class action to hold VW responsible for the design flaw!
Same thing happen to my vw cc. Light is not working and now it won't unlock.

Tnx for ur video.i have the same problem with mine
Same issue with my 2012 CC .... man you're right this should be under warranty and it supposed to be properly protected from something like opening the trunk ... They are losing customer this way PS VW
Wish I never got a Vw, I have the same year and it's just been one problem after the other and of course nothing is covered.
I have the same car...and have the same issue.My trunk won't open and my rear fog lights are out too..after this am done buying a VW..the warranty should have covered this B.s
I have the same exact issue with my 2013 VW CC. VW should cover this as a recall. Frustrating, but they have moved on to the Arteon now.
Terrance Anderson Arteon is a bad ass car
See my comment and quest. Can I have your view please..
I feel your pain my brother. Pisses me off too.
I have the same issue thanks for the video 👍🏼👍🏼
I have 2009 vw CC have exactly same problem. Changed so many time light bulbs. Lot of ppl have same problems it should be on the warranty

Thank you for the video .. repairing the broken wires, but the light and the camera did not work. Please help
How many wires are broken make sure check all your connections and keep me posted. I will be gladly to help you out.
@@CubanLink-vf5gh There were two broken wires which I fixed but the camera didn't turn on and one of the reversing lights
You should be three or four wires that are broken especially where the trunk bracket is double check
did you check every wire one by one cause that’s what I did and make sure it doesn’t have any kinks especially around the trunk arm
@@CubanLink-vf5gh Thank you, I solved the problem, it only needed to be reprogrammed
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
dx398 you are so welcome 👍
My trunk opens on its own sometimes when I’m driving, does this cause this issue too? 2011 vw cc
My 2015 CC still have the same problem. $200 just for the harness $285 for installation.

Damn. It's the same issue with my 2010 CC.
My lights ( '10 CC)work fine, but my trunk wont open by the handle, and it wont latch, it even pops open by itself!!!
Hi, here with a 2014, was expecting to be the wiring as it works intermittently when I open the boot, f engineers...

How did u open the drink when the key n button don't work
Trunk button on the fob was still working The latch on the logo was not working
That harness is 80 bucks.
I have a 2009 Volkswagen Jetta SE 2.5 I had a wiring harness issue in the rear to my lights reverse lights totally out calls me nearly $400 for wiring harness absolutely ridiculous
Find the broken wire and use butt connectors if it’s wrapped up in Tessa tape cut it down the middle and look for the wire and reconnect
Hey I just came across this on my 2010 cc. I'm trying to replace it. I was wondering how hard it was to get to the harness
Shivam Vachhani I just pulled the panel out and solder the wires in the truck wasn't too bad Took me 30 minutes to do it
ran into the same problem with my 2010 cc. some bs
ignacio estrada did you ever fix your wire Harness
Did you ever fix your issue with your trunk wires just wondering
Yes I did had four broken wires
FML I tried to the replace the trunk light bulb and it was on for a second and later turned off come to find out my tail light are off and the interior lights are also not working 🙄

Mine is a 2014, it has same problem, its 5 year old ffs, and now vw want 95 not to fix it but just to look at it, this is my first and last vw.

@@AgentDoubleOSeven77 Here In NJ the VW dealer asks me 510+tax (parts&labor). So I suppose not that far off.
How did you wire the sound system. Do a vid on that
No it doesn’t void warranty I use a high and low converter . Regular power and ground and remote .

I love Vw but they are full of shit, I have a 2010 cc as well 60,000 miles and my headliner has already worn out, vw says 500 to fix
You have to go upholster place. I paid $120.00
