Volkswagen Turn Signal Light Assembly - Genuine VW 3CN949101A

Product Information

A turn signal light, also known as an indicator or blinker, is a critical part of a vehicle’s safety system that signals your intent to turn or change lanes. The lights are located at the front, rear, and sometimes on the sides of the vehicle, and they flash on and off when the driver activates the turn signal lever. The turn signals inform other drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians of the vehicle’s movements to help prevent accidents.

• Turn Signal Light Not Blinking: The most obvious sign of failure is when the turn signal doesn't blink or activate at all. This can be caused by a blown bulb, faulty wiring, or a bad turn signal switch.
• Rapid Flashing: If the turn signal blinks much faster than normal, this often indicates a burned-out bulb.

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.
