Twice in the past week when driving on the freeway, the instrument panel brake light has blinked several times in succession and then gone off. It is accompanied by audible beeping. (2005 Golf TDI)

I checked the brake reservoir, but I can't tell for sure where the fluid level is. I removed the cap as far as I could, and the plunger appears wet, but I can't tell for sure becasue the space is so tight.

The manual does not identify this specific symptom. It indicates that two different indicators indicate a brake problem, but I am only seeing the one.

Any ideas?

thanks

I have the same problem. The dealer replaced the switch once and it is happening again. Does anyone know where the switch is? If i could find it, I'm sure I can replace it.
