Flashing Glow Plug Light And Brake Lights On Permanently

[dulux72]

Title says it all

 

Any one have any ideas what caused this.

After searching the forum the usual fault after flahing glow plug light is no brake lights NOT on all the time.

Even when car is locked.

 

Help! Please :P

perhaps switch on the brake pedal has failed in an odd way although wonder why they have poser even when ignition off ??????????

I've disconnected the battery for now as the brake lights are on all the time even when car is locked

[NikpV]

hope you know your radio code :P, how about disconnecting th brake pedal switch(es) ????

My sisters Galaxy had this problem after a brake servo was replaced. The switch on the brake pedal had (we think) been damaged during the replacement, or coincidently failed. replacement of the switch sorted it. That was on a y reg 115 tdi manual.

This is a 05 TDI

 

Going to have another look this evening

Or its a trip to the stealers

when the glowplugs are on permanent it usually is related to the break lights. please check your break bulbs are working if the break lights do come one then under the pedal is a tinny piece of plastic..when that becomes worn then the breaks dont come on..this is easy to fix..

As above really - some vehicles brake lights work even when the ignition is off and it appears that in some way the galaxy glow plugs are connected (maybe the same circuit ?)

 

so - change your brake light switch and all should be ticketie boo (thats fine in laymans terms)
