#67 of 71 Brake lights always ON when i turn the headlights on by dsnapp Nov 10, 2009 (7:15 pm)
I have a problem that i can't figure out that may be more related to the electrical system than the brakes but thought i'd post here. My 2001 VW Passat rear drivers side light bulb went out. I drove with it out for over a month. I got a replacement bulb and it was easy to replace but now I have some weird side effects.   When I hit the brakes the dashboard lights always come on. Also, when I have the headlights on the rear brake lights are always on.   If i take the replacement bulb out everything works as designed except i have a rear light out.   Has anyone encountered something like this with VW lights? Does it sound like a problem with a fuse or a bigger issue with the wiring? I am out of ideas and hate bringing the car into the dealership. Any suggestions are appreciated.
