Are there any comprehensive websites to use for a car problem?

The driver side drl on my 2020 passat is out and I cannot find the hub inside of it for it. I think it is going to require some disassembly. Checked google and youtube for hours, something needs to come off for it. I poked around and pulled out the turn signal but there are no other capped holes accessible through under the hood or body cover which I removed to poke around. My dad is a car guy but he knows old cars, not newer ones. He helped me a bit but has severe macular degeneration and can’t see in there. I felt up everything and found nothing. I took a look at the module online and I think I might have located that which would need to be removed but a few things look like they need to be removed to access it.

Back in the 90ies my uncle always got a book for the car hee owned which would explain how to disassemble it.

But me and my dad never bothered with the book, just got to work on it and figured it out on the go. The biggest thing I replaced in my car was the whole Chassis.

But yeah in the new cars there is less mechanical stuff and more electronics so it's getting difficult.

The only place I can think off was YouTube, or if you can find a book like my uncle always had: https://onlymanuals.com/volkswagen/passat/volkswagen_passat_b3_workshop_manual_passat_b3
