This channel and other internet DIY's have saved me tons of money by
doing all maintenance on my S4 myself.
Thanks!
That's good to hear - and exactly why we're here :-)
Good stuff!

Just a correction there as you got it the other way around...
When you press the pedal it actually relieves the pressure on the switch and when you let go of the pedal it pressed the switch back in
switch pressed = brake lights off
switch relieved = brake lights on
Audi/VW made it this way so you dont crush your brake switch upon hard braking.
Big Thankyou for this video really helped me, there is nothing like not being able to get to work because your car is not working, because all the garages are closed in new year this video meant we could get the part yesterday and get to work, fantastic
Excellent, glad we were able to help you out and thank you for your support!

Nice clear video, but perhaps it might have been a good addition to explain to your audience what the brake light switch affects when it goes bad, besides the brake lights (ie. shift lock - not being able to get it out of PARK and possibly the cruise control on some models). Not to the CZcamsrs, if your transmission is locked in Park, there could be other issues, besides the brake switch, such as the shift lock solenoid which is located under the shifter mechanism...locations vary in this area depending on your model of Audi.
Thanks for the really clear video. Are you able to offer advice on installing a new brake pedal sensor? Searching the forums there is conflicting information - some people say to leave the pedal up (ie not pressed down!) while installing and some say to fully press the pedal down, insert the sensor, release the pedal while holding the sensor in place and then twist the sensor into position once the pedal is back up. Others say that you should fully press the pedal down, install (and twist the sensor into position) and then release the pedal. I'm aware that the twisting is the critical phase of the installation so if you can confirm best practice I'd be very grateful.
No need to press the pedal down when installing the sensor. The end of it will compress as it's being installed against the brake lever mechanism (make sure you go in straight with the new sensor), once seated...turn 1/4 clockwise to lock it into its housing, push in the electrical connector -- Done.
We appreciate you dude 🙌🏾 you have no idea😅🤘🏾🖤
Thank you for saying so, genuinely appreciated :-)

Do you have, and if not, could you publish a video on the removal and installation of a parking brake switch at the e-brake lever on a 04 A4. I try to see from the images in your current videos how it rests, but am not able to do so clearly. Thank you.
Great video, thank you, I’ve just changed mine, but I still have the fault, wiring to the switch looks perfect, any ideas? Thanks
whats the fault code?
Hi ! I got a audi b6 3.0 petrol 54 plate and I’ve bean followed your channel for alittle while good videos
I’v learn alot
But I got a question
My brake light its working at at top ( the strip) but not the sides
Changed the bulbs still nothing
Would that still be the sonsor?
Can a faulty brake pedal swith cause the ESP senzor error below?
00493 - ESP-Sensor Unit (G419)
001 - Upper Limit Exceeded
Before haveing the ESP light on on the dash, i had occasions when the pilot would not engage. After few brake pedal pushes, it came back to normal. I'm trying to find out whether the ESP light and pilot not always engaging could have the same cause as being this brake pedal switch.
Thanks!
Hey there!
This issue comes up quite a bit on Audi's and can be a pain to track down. I would try resetting the ABS pump on Vag Com due
to what you mentioned with the brakes turning the error off. Get that out of the way first as that has solved this issue for quite a few people in the past.
Next up would be the ESP Sensor Unit, and wiriing between that and brakes. The brake pedal sensor is a possibility, but there are a few things first to try that are more likely. Start on the ABS Pump and hopefully that will sort it for you.
Best of luck!

@@TotalTechnik I have Audi a4 b7 2.0TDi and i have blinking glow plug light and this cause the problem thx agian for the help wher this sensor hidden :)
Hi mate please help me I have watch many video. I have esp light always on seen it could be break switch sensor. But I dont have 1 in the location that yours is. Is there anywhere else it can be located or is there any tips to get rid of light without costing a fortune. Thank u for any advise
Awesome video!
One question if you could help me is an a4 b7 2008,sometimes on dashboard lcd its says the brake light doesnt work on left side i cheked its working i changed the bulb anyway but still says sometimes is not always on display only sometimes it might be possible to have this problem because of this switch?
Hmm, unlikely if it is only affecting one bulb. More likely there is a wiring issue somewhere to the bulb. It would be worth checking the bulb socket with a multimeter and see if the 12v feed is stable or it it dips.

Wish you all the best !!
Can you make a video on how to remove bank 1 sensor 2 on a b6 a4?
Hey there! Unfortunately we cannot make video's specific to one persons issue as it's jut not practical. But we may cover the sensor removal in the future, but we do not have it scheduled right now.
It would be worth trying on of the forums such as audi-sport.net
Thank you!
Brakes sensor change new. Still a bug. The horse sometimes lights up then the light goes out. Engines jump when the error.
My manual audi a4 b7 has lost power and my brake lights are staying on also is there any chance you know what can cause this issue?
was it?
Hi on audi rs3 2018 car was driving i parked car came back try to switch on car not starting and p flashing on gear and brake light not working when press brake where is the location on them
I've just changed my sensor and now they won't turn on and abs light now on. What should I do. Cheers
my 08 adi a4 won't shift out of park? please help
Hey there - sorry to hear that :-(
Has it suddenly done this, or have you struggled to get it into/out of gear in the past, or had any gear slippage etc when driving? These will help pinpoint likely causes.
Total Technik thanks found the problem it was the lock on switch was stuck
@@cmmoto so was it the switch? did you replace it or did you just spin it free?
Can this sensor brings a problem to cruise control if its not work properly?
In theory yes it can be a factor because cruise will disengage if you change speed using the accelerator or brake pedals (i.e. back to manual control). So if the car is receiving a signal telling it the brake pedal is engaged then this could indeed throw off the cruise.

Yes, my cc went out, and my abs light was on. Had it diagnosed and it was a bad brake switch..break lights weren't working either.
Putting it in tomorrow and hopefully fixing my issues.
Did you know the part number of that sensor?
We don't have it available anymore unfortunately. It's best to look at your old one first (I know, it's a pain!) because you could find that your part number is not identical to the one in this video depending on the exact model you have. It should be fairly generic, but always worth checking before ordering the new one just in case.
