    Exclamation HELP! BRAKE Light / ABS popping on

    Hi Team!

    Was working on the rear tail light mod and realized i didn't have the right tool to make the hole for the passenger side fog light. So after taking everything down, I put it back together.
    I checked the brake fluid afterwards...looked good.

    Now, when I start the car, its fine...BUT when I turn on the light switch, the cluster reads: BRAKE LIGHT. The ESP Triangle pops on as well as ABS.
    I am also noticing the rear reverse lights aren't working...

    What the hell is going on!

    HELP.

    Did some snooping around...had some bulbs in the wrong socket..no more BRAKE LIGHT, but ABS and ESP traction pops on...i was messing with the Brake Fluid earlier...tapping it to see if there was any in there, could have messed with the sensor.

    I still don't have reverse lights...hmmm

    If one sensor fails, the complete ABS/ESP fails on any 2.7t audi. This means that ABS/ESP is disabled, and you really should fix that stuff. Audi's ABS/ESP is a life saver.

    You even vagcom, bro?
    There are only 2 things needed to make an Audi work properly - Duct tape and WD40. If it moves and it shouldn't - Duct tape. If it doesn’t move and it should - WD40.
