Volkswagen Hazard Warning Switch - Genuine VW 5NA953509DYM

Product Information

A hazard warning switch is the control button (often a red triangle symbol) that activates a vehicle’s hazard lights. When pressed, it engages all turn signal lights to flash simultaneously, warning other drivers of a breakdown, accident, or roadside emergency. The switch connects directly to the vehicle’s flasher relay and electrical system.

• Hazard lights not working at all when the switch is pressed.
• Intermittent or stuck operation, where the lights stay on or won’t activate properly.
• No clicking sound or relay engagement, indicating an electrical fault or worn-out switch.

About Genuine VW

The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VW to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VW” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VW, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VW Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VW are not necessarily manufactured by VW. No cause for concern, as VW designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VW for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VW parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VW logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming directly from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
