Get access to the rear wiper motor and disconnect the wiring. Using a DMM (Digital Multi-Meter) or VOM (Volt-Ohm Meter) in VOLTAGE mode, turn ON the rear wiper and see if there is 12V being sourced to the connector. If yes, your motor is bad. If no, work your way back through the wiring to find the fault. Over time wires can get pinched or worn.

I have a MK4 SE 16V 2001, nothing special, I am currently at work and my alarm keeps going off. it seems to only happen when the car is cold / moisture in the air.. When the car is warm alarm will not sound. Matt-T. If you are using LED bulbs they will be polarity sensitive. I believe the fuses are No 22 & 23 from memory but check your fuse card or search the forum. If your fuses are fine i would get a multimeter and measure for voltage at the switch, then with the switch on check at plug on the lights, then the bulb holder. Posts: 823.

If so its the indicator stalk, i had this problem on my old MK4. But it kept blowing the fuses too. M1 TCH.
The indicator and brake signal both share the high signal of the dual filament bulbs in a US tail light. Basically each signal overides the other, so when braking, the indicator signal inverts to cut the brake signal out. Getting this to work with the standard Golf flasher unit requires 3 relays and a resistor bypass per tail.
im had the same problem rear boot wiper motor was leaking replace it and all fixed and if i leave the boot open and lock the car will still lock so im pretty sure its that one also got some corrosion type of stuff around and on the handel does that mean a new boot door or can it be treated because i had the boot handle sprayed twice and the paint falls off [cry] . 320 297 364 123 30 32 214 69 367
