Does anyone have any suggestions as to > what might be the cause of this? The brake lights and the parking (running) lights use different filaments and are on separate circuits. It sounds like your brake lights are not working but your parking (running) lights are fine. The most common cause of loss of both brake lights is that both pressure activated brake switches on the master cylinder have failed. This a common problem in our cars now that they are this old. - ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ------------------------------------------------------------------- List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list or mailto:help@vwtype3.org
