MK2 Galaxy 05 1.9 Tddi - Brake light stays on the dash no brake lights, also glow plug stays flashing.. bought new switch which is green the one taken out was a sort of lilac in colour looked on other sites for the correct one and some say a pale blue!!!! any one know of the correct one or even a part number to help.
Despite colour did you try fitting it to see if it worked?
Just done some googling seems latest switch is green (4 pin switch) vw part number 1J0 945 511 A
Have you checked brake light bulbs as the flashing dash lights may be related to blown bulb.
Hi, thank-you for answers, Yes did try the green switch didn't work took it back shop ordered another one which was black they say it was a modified version but should be the right one, still don't work all bulbs and fuses checked all okay, must say I'm stumped, going to take it to a garage tomorrow to have diagnostics checked???
Is your Galaxy a manual or an automatic?
Hi..
it's a manual!
Have you checked for voltage at plug for the switch?
I'd consider checking for wiring loom damage/ shorted wiring where the loom passes from the vehicle body into the tailgate.
Would that effect brake lights as wiring for them is behind the quarter trim?
If there was a short into the high level centre brake light possibly?
Thank you will take a look.. Drove it just over 500 miles last week parked it up on Friday night, brake light switch not working Sat morning - don't make sense :(
Oh yeah forgot about the high level light,now I see your thinking......its been a long day on naff all sleep!
