00526 - Brake Light Switch (F)

[ulfilias]

Hi There,

On look at VCDS i get


1 Fault Found:
00526 - Brake Light Switch (F)
011 - Open Circuit - Intermittent

Which is often a vcds thing with autos

However my engine DTC's include

18061 - Please check DTC Memory of ABS Controller
P1653 - 008 - - Intermittent
18061 - Please check DTC Memory of ABS Controller
P1653 - 008 - - Intermittent


Which is leading me to thinking it's a real thing. I've been watching at night when driving and I certainly seem to have a brake light working, but....
(Actually when in cruise and accelorating past then taking my foot off i see what seems to be auto braking?!?!)

So....Where's the little bugger and how do i check / replace it ???

Ta,
Lee
