Vemo V15-80-3219 Steering Column Switch

The Vemo V15-80-3219 is a high‑performance steering column switch designed for modern automotive interiors. It serves as the central control hub for turn signals, hazard lights, and other auxiliary functions that are typically accessed via the steering wheel or column.

Key Functionalities

• Turn Signal Activation: Provides reliable electrical contact for left and right indicators, ensuring consistent illumination during lane changes and turns.
• Hazard Light Control: Integrated hazard switch allows quick activation of all vehicle lights in emergency situations.
• Multi‑Position Switch: Supports additional functions such as high/low beam toggling, parking brake release, or other custom features depending on the vehicle’s wiring harness.

Design and Build Quality

The switch is engineered with a robust polycarbonate housing that resists impact, heat, and chemical exposure. Its compact footprint fits seamlessly into the steering column assembly without compromising ergonomics or safety.

• Durable Contacts: Nickel‑plated contacts provide low resistance and long life, reducing wear over thousands of cycles.
• Weather‑Resistant Sealing: Gasketed seals protect internal components from moisture and dust ingress, maintaining performance in varied climates.

Compatibility Overview

The V15-80-3219 is specifically engineered for a range of Volkswagen Group vehicles, including but not limited to:

• VW Transporter T4 (70E, 70L, 70M, 70B, 70C, 70J, 70K)
• Volkswagen Commercial Vans and Buses
