I replaced the air bag module with a salvage yard one (same exact part #). The air bag light went off but NOW the glow plug light is flashing and the the brake lights do not work. I am wondering if that was a coincidence?

Are the brake light switches still under a recall?

Do I need to hook vag com up when I installed the salvage yard air bag module?

Read up on brake light switches. If yours has already been replaced by VW, pick one up. It's not difficult to do but you might want to pick up two as someone here recommended. Once you know how it's easy but it's not clear at all the first time you try. Read all the threads about the switches and try it.

Thanks guys, Is there documentation on how to replace the switch? I am going to try and hit the VW delaership today and get it under the recall.
