Hello all!
I have a 1999 Jetta, purchased it about 6 weeks ago. It has 229K miles on the ODO. I have steadily been making repairs and fixing small issues with it. Recently, within the past week, the BRAKE light illuminated in the instrument cluster (same light that illuminates when you pull the e-brake handle) and along with it the cruise stopped working. I have checked the system with VCDS and it shows proper functioning of both the brake pedal switch and clutch pedal switch. It does not show any 'state-change' for any of the functions of the cruise control switch (OFF/ON, RES, SET, etc.)
I have ordered a new cruise control/turn signal switch assembly, just waiting for it to be delivered.
One thing I have noticed, the intensity of the BRAKE light changes. When you apply the e-brake, the light gets brighter.
Is the e-brake switch tied into the curise control circuit?
Thanks in advance,
Scott
