Detailed Description

The VEMO V10-73-0141 is a back up light switch used in the reverse-light circuit on manual transmission vehicles. When the transmission is shifted into reverse, the switch completes the signal that turns on the rear backup lamps. This part is specified for vehicles using OE number 012 919 823 F and is listed for 1995-2005 Audi, Volkswagen, and Porsche applications, including 1996-2004 Audi A4, 1996-2004 Audi A4 Quattro, 2000-2002 Audi S4, 2003-2005 Volkswagen Passat, and 1997-2004 Porsche Boxster.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 5559, 37434) for the same application. The V10-73-0141 part number is also useful when verifying the correct reverse light switch against OE and aftermarket references during service work.

What It Helps Fix

• Reverse lights that do not illuminate when the transmission is placed in reverse
• Intermittent backup lamp operation caused by a worn switch contact
• Faulty reverse signal at the transmission switch circuit
• Incorrect OE replacement selection during manual transmission repair
• Electrical connection issues at the 2-pin switch interface

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm OE number 012 919 823 F and verify the connector shape, pin count, and transmission type before ordering. This switch is listed for manual transmission applications only. Compare the original part’s dimensions and connector style to the VEMO V10-73-0141 before installation, and inspect the reverse lamp circuit for corrosion or damaged wiring if the backup lights still do not operate after replacement.
