Audi TT 2003

I hit my brakes, and my car does brake, but my brake lights do not work. I mean usually the light sensors come on to let me know a light bulb is out, but does it make sense that both would blow at the same time and a sensor wouldn't pick it up? Do you think this could be a fuse or possibly an electrical issue. All other lights are fine it's just the brake lights do not come on when i depress the brake pedal.

 

brake switch is probably stuck. look under the dash. Theres a plunger style switch that the brake would keep depressed when you're not using it. They can get cruddy with dirt and stick, or sometimes just go bad entirely.

 

Second that.. cheap part if you want to do it yourself

 

I don't think you would get a bulb out indication if the brake switch was broken - it wouldn't know you were braking... Change the bulbs.

 

think he's sayin usually the light out warning would come on, but he's not getting brake lights or a light out warning. that tells me its the switch.

 

Your solution works for your translation ; ) His post is very confusing...
