few questions??? need a little input?

[Mr.Audi]

on my 1.8t usp i have been having a few issues and was looking for some answers,

1. my brake lights have been staying on periodically, no warning lights on dash, pedal feel is good, nothing unusual except them staying illuminated when the brakes arent on. I thought it may be a bad brake light switch.... ?? dont know for sure though.

2. my cruise has been working intermitently, not that the function itself dosent work when it's on, just sometimes when you turn it on it will not come on. any thoughts??
any help would be great!! thanks

Check the brake light switch on the brake pedal arm. It probably need adjusting. Would also explain your cruise control issue.

I didnt know that adjusting was possible, i thought they either went bad or broke. I will have to check. Any recommendations on how this adjusting works or is done?

Would also explain your cruise control issue.

when you turn it on so the light on the dash illuminates, sometimes it will come on and sometimes not. The times it does illuminate it works fine, holds speed, speeds up, slows down.. etc. The times that it dosent work i have no light on dash and no functions working at all.

Here is what it looks like on the Allroad. I'm pretty sure it is a similar set up on the A4. Not sure about the cruise control. Sorry!

The brake lights come on when the brake pedal arm moves away from the switch so try adjusting the switch lower (move it closer to the pedal). I believe you turn the adjuster counterclockwise to lower the switch. If that doesn't fix the problem you may have to replace the switch.

Good luck!
