Volkswagen Magotan headlight relay is located under the hood, at the upper left corner of the engine. Introduction to relays: Relay, also known as an electrical relay, is an electronic control device that consists of a control system (also known as the input circuit) and a controlled system (also known as the output circuit). It is commonly used in automatic control circuits. Headlight relay system: A relay generally consists of several main contacts and two coil contacts, similar to a contactor. The main contacts are connected to the controlled system, while the coil contacts are connected to the control system.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Magotan for several years. The headlight relay is usually hidden in the fuse box in the engine compartment, located near the engine, typically on the right or left side. You can see a row of small devices when you open the cover. The relay is the switch that controls the lights. If your headlights aren't working, it might be because this relay is faulty. Before looking for it, turn off the engine to ensure safety, and be careful not to touch hot components. I've noticed that in most cases, there are symbols or markings on the top of the fuse box—checking the user manual is the most accurate way to find it. When I inspect it myself, I also make a habit of testing other related wiring, such as checking for loose plugs, to avoid wasting money on unnecessary part replacements. If you're not entirely sure about the location, just note down the model year and ask at a repair shop. After all, regular maintenance makes things easier in the long run.
