brake pedal switch. I had to replace mine a couple months back. ~20 bucks if the part is the same for the A3 as it is for the B4.

Check the light bulbs (ohm meter) replace if necessary.

If they were all working last week, it is probably the switch. Hardest part of this is finding a position to put your body while removing/replacing. I don't recall any tools being needed.
