Hi Tom,

I saw your post while working in the Bentley on another matter. The
clock, radio & interior lights(and lighter, map & make-up lights) are
powered from fuse #3 (15A). If the fuse is OK then there is connector
#T2c somewhere of the left side of the instrument panel. The Red wire
(pin 1) in plug T2c is common to the above equipment. Pull the
instrument cluster and you should be able to see plug T2c and refer to
Bentley page 97.210. Unless you really know your VW dealer I would avoid
the dealer for a concern like this. This is basic electrical
troubleshooting and the VW dealer offers no special advantage in this
area. This kind of concern only needs a couple of hours, a fluke meter,
a schematic and a six-pack.

Good luck    John
