ABS and brake lights going on and off!!!

Recommended Posts

For about a month now the ABS and Brake Light come on when I start my car and will not go off for a while. Seems to get worse and worse as time goes on. Recently I have even lost power braking!! Then 5-10 miles down the road the power brakes kick in and shortly later the lights turn off. Sometimes the lights even turn back on when I brake just as I come to a stop. Please tell me this is not my ABS unit, it has already faild once and I paid 450 for a used one off a VR6 passat. I have tried checking the electrical system but can find no bad conections. Could it be the rellay? or the sensors? where can I buy rellays and how can I check the sensors?

 

Thanks for you help :?

VAG-COM will tell you which component is screwed.

This sounds more like a problem elsewhere. If you lost brake assistance, you lost vacuum - nothing to do with the ABS system whatsoever.
