Checked the switich at the brake peddle and were ok there. key's out and the brakes lights are just a blazing away. Damn....

Any ideas?

There is an upper and lower switch, did you check both?

Cheers,

No..... in fact the Bently has NADA on these. REal weird stuff. For the life os me I could not get the lights to go off and then I drove to my mechanic's (was closed) and when I got home they were off. Are you reffering to the light switch on the dash?

Got my curiousity.

I think what Dogpilot was refering to was the two switches on the master it self. When your lights are "mystery" on, remove a wire from each switch, one at a time to see if the lights go out.

I had a similar situation happen to me once. It seemed it was hotter~n~blazes though. I just replaced a switch on the the master and the problem was fixed.

I've had a bad switch on the master make the brake lights only come on when the pedal was all the way down. I found that the switches are the same for a bunch of VWs and got a pair for a few bucks. Changed both switches while I was in there.
