Good evening
I have scoured the internet and various forums and cannot find an answer. I bought a 2004 Passat TDI a month ago to go back and forth from home to work. (about 40/50 mi drive)
When I start it and start moving the "BRAKE" light on the dash flashes and I get 3 beeps. It flashed the entire drive to work it did not beep the entire time, it only beeps when you first start moving. No ABS light, brake pads have maybe 200 miles on them (I replaced them when I bought it a month ago), the brake fluid is Full. The front pads have the built in wear sensors and are plugged in. The DRL's are on and the e brake is down all the way. I even pushed down on the ebrake switch and it has no effect. Yet when I pull the ebrake the "BRAKE" light on the dash stays on and beeps constantly plus the switch is new so it's not that. I also checked the ac and abs fuses in the driver side panel with no issues noted.
I'm at a loss
Quick recap:
BRAKE light flashes all the time
3 beeps only and it's only when I start moving
-Brake fluid clear and FULL
-Brake Pads 1 month old, maybe 209-300mi on the pads
-Front pads have the built in sensors and are connected
-DRL's on
-NO codes on my OBD scanner
-E-Brake switch is fully depressed and working
-AC and ABS fuse in panel by driver's door are good
