Hello,
Autozone used a cheap OBD2 scanner that had to plugged into a PC after doing the scan, and O'Reilly used a stand-alone Bosch scanner. Neither one found a code. However Autozone noticed that my R+L brake lights were out, with the centre one still working. As my 2003 TDI had the brake light switch recall work done in 2007, should I be having this problem? In other words, did the dealer put in a switch identical to the one that was to be replaced? They did just that when replacing a faulty temperature sensor that went out at 40k, only to have it go bad again at 80k, and even after replacing it again, it lit up the red temp. light like clockwork at 120k, yet it did disappear after something else was fixed. I suppose a real VAG scanner should be used, but should the light be flashing when the brake lights are out with the new & improved brake light switch?
