Touran brake light problem

[D-MAN]

Iam guessing now but i think the brake light switch is receiving a signal from the ECU,due to a faulty clutch pedal switch.There are two types of switches the earlier models had the switch above the clutch pedal,and the later models it is attached to the clutch master cylinder.You need to pull the contact off what ever one it is.

Faulty clutch pedal switch pulled the contact off it and brake lights out and fault away off the dash . It is the one with the switch at the cylinder now do any of you know now to get at it to replace it do you have to take the pedal out and go in that way or what
