where is the brake light switch?

[jamiedolittle]

yes i too have had the glowplug light flashing, so after looking on here i decided it was the brake light switch.
so i went and got a new one, took the panel under the dash but i could not see the switch anywhere!
i have looked everywhere on the web but could not see anything on it- only other models/makes.

mine is a 2002 a4 avant 1.9tdi

any help would be much appreciated.

Top of the brake pedal...

[jamiedolittle]

yeah ive looked there but it does not seem to be there. well not obviously anyway.
i cant really see the very top of it anyway as there seems to be be a bulkhead in the way!

[jamiedolittle]

type "a4 brake switch" into your search engine,and scroll down to wikipeadia or whatever it's called. a complete breakdown on how to change it,---and i have a bora!!!!
take care,
stewy.

From memory, it is actually to the right of the pedal set (i.e. between the pedals and the transmission tunnel). But this is a hazy memory as it was a year ago I had to fiddle with mine. The brake and the clutch switch are next to each other.

[jamiedolittle]

so you only had to take that one panel off under the dash?
i will have to have a better look.... did it take you long?

[GeorgeE]

Panel was simple enough to remove. I wasn't actually changing the switch but I had to hook the towbar wiring kit into it.

[jamiedolittle]

finally done it....its at the top of the clutch pedel.

regards,
stewy.
