(1998 2.5TDI) - 2 electrical faults - graze
Has anyone got any ideas on these - the first is the brake light bulb warning light is on most of the time although occasionally it decides to go off and on many times with bleeper for a week or so before settling down again to being on all the time. Long standing problem - I've replaced all the bulbs, brightened up all the contacts, the lights and the LCD on the rear window all work normally. All other dash warning functions work normally.
Next recent problem is the red warning light on the driver's door, the lights on buzzer, and the under the dash interior light fail to come on when the door is opened but strangely the main interior light works normally and comes on when the door is opened. All lights and the door open warning gong on the passenger side work normally. Can't find any fuse problems. Any ideas greatly appreciated as these faults don't justify paying out lots of money to fix.
