    Can anyone out there help me please...i have an audi a4 tdi on the B5 platform.
    it appears i have no brake lights working on my rear clusters, only the centre light is working...i have checked the bulbs, the fuse ( no 13 )
    i have visually checked the brake light switch. seams ok,
    does anyone have any ideas what may cause this...if the brake light switch was faulty no brake lights would work would they? or is there a way to check it properly...the brake switch has a mulitplug on it with four wires in it, or is there a way to check the relay, ( again i am told it is number 13 )
    any help with this would be greatly appreciated, as my mot is due in the next few weeks, so desperatley need to get this problem fixed...

    This happens with a faulty brake light switch.

    I know this might sound stupid but I had this problem, checked the fuse and it was fine, it was driving me mad.....then I checked ALL the fuses and one was blown (which according to my handbook had NOTHING to do with the brakelights) and that fixed it! Check all the fuses just incase your handbook is as stupid as mine! (or wiring is as dodgy I suppose!).

    Thanks for the advice, i will start by checking all the fuses, then if still not working, take it to get the switch checked. Any ideas how much it is for supply and fit of the brake switch?
    One last question...Why isnt the centre brake light affected?
    Anymore advice or tips welcome.
