OVERVIEW
Replace the correct original circuit relay
191-927-841 is the Genuine VW/Audi multipurpose electrical relay used in the specified factory circuit positions. Its plug-in blade terminals and internal switching arrangement must match the original relay and socket for the circuit being serviced.
The same relay number can serve different functions across vehicle applications. Correct selection depends on the factory relay number, circuit and terminal arrangement; exterior case shape or a generic relay description alone is not enough.
Technical details
- Complete factory number: 191-927-841.
- Factory specification: factory plug-in relay, complete number 191-927-841; circuit assignment varies by vehicle.
- Design: molded relay case with blade terminals and printed terminal/circuit diagram, as pictured.
- Quantity supplied: one individual relay.
This listing supplies one individual relay. Relay carrier, socket, wiring, switches and controlled components are separate. Confirm the circuit's original relay number and terminal diagram before ordering.
Common reasons to replace
- Testing confirms the relay fails to switch when correctly commanded.
- Internal contacts cause excessive resistance or intermittent operation.
- The relay case or terminals are heat damaged.
- The original correct relay is missing from the assigned socket.
Check circuit supply, ground, control signal and the controlled load before replacing the relay. A damaged socket, shorted load or wiring fault can imitate relay failure and may also damage a new relay.
Vehicle fitment
The table specifies confirmed circuit assignments. This relay is not suitable for every relay position on the listed vehicles; match the original number and circuit diagram.
| Vehicle | Model years | Engine | Configuration | Application restrictions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Volkswagen Jetta | 2004 | 1.8L turbocharged gasoline; 2.0L gasoline; 2.8L VR6 gasoline; 1.9L TDI | Mk4; PR 4E2 electric interior trunk release | Assigned rear-lid release relay position only; match original relay number, terminal arrangement and vehicle equipment. |
| Volkswagen Passat | 1998 | 1.8L turbocharged gasoline; 2.8L gasoline V6 | B5; automatic transmission | Assigned selector-lever lighting relay position, cataloged 40A; match original number and terminal arrangement. |
Installation guidance
Isolate the circuit according to the vehicle repair procedure. Inspect the carrier and terminals for looseness, corrosion or heat damage, and insert the correct relay fully without forcing mismatched terminals.
Restore power and test the specific controlled function using the prescribed diagnostic procedure. If the fault remains, continue circuit diagnosis rather than substituting different relay types.
