An Auto Scan is not enough, because the changes are made to some of the Channels in Adaptation.

So if you can post the changes you did - look in the C:\Ross-Tech\VCDS\Logs folder and post the content of the .TXT file.

I know exactly what chanels and where I did the changes but even when I put it back to original the bottom lights are on with tail gate and even I am open the tail gate the lights stays on on tail gate together with bottom lights in bumper. So I am thinking there should be adaptation for this switch to recognize its opened.

If the lights was working as they should before you did the Coding changes, then they should also work again when you revert the changes, so unless you can show us all your changes, I don't think we can help you.

I don't think that Channel 195, 196, 197 and 198 are the only Channels you've done changes to.

Thanks Rene anyway I am pretty sure that I was touching just this fours channels... There where also mentioned channels up to 210 but I did not touch them. Right now I have tail gate light works good and I disconnected this in bumper just let back up lights and fog lamps connected. I do not know if I can put the picture of it here.

You can see what you have changed in the log file found in C:\Ross-Tech\VCDS\Logs or C:\Ross-Tech\VCDS\Debug

How should the light in the bumper work ?? - are you sure that the light after your coding change isn't the same as before ??

Maybe they are coded as "Side markers" ?? - if so then it is Channel 209 (left side) and 210 (right side) you could try to re-code
