Helping out a friend with an EPB fault (2007 B6 wagon). VCDS reports the following:
Running through the diagnostic (from Ross-Tech), he can hear the motor moving, but it fails the function test, reporting "closed" (which makes sense, as the dash light is on, and the bing is binging - except that the brake is clearly not on and the car is driveable).
I'm just wondering if we could jumper the right side connector to the left side motor, to confirm a failed motor, and not some point in the wiring harness or switch. It's my understanding that the motor is "symmetric" (not specific to left/right), but not sure if using a jumper to get to the other side of the car is going to mess up the voltage on the diagnostics.
This car is a bit of a lemon, frankly, reporting near-constant intermittent electrical gremlins - here's a sample that I cleared at last scan (all with different freeze frame dates):
Plan is to unload the car... but need to resolve the EPB issue.
Thanks.
