brake lights issue

[dares_uk]

ok, 99 S3,

had one brake light out the other day,
tried changing bulb, couldnt quite get to it,


tried again today with a mate, he managed it,
new bulb, test, didnt work, checked/noticed otherside not working either now, was 1st time.
center brake lighjt is working,

checked fuse no. 13 (brake lights) and that was ok,


also, drivers side window switch seems to have stopped working/works randomly, easy/exspensive to change?


any ideas??

cheers

but surely that wouldnt explain one bulb stopping, then another a few days later, and the middle brake light still working. ??

ok, been to audi today, spoken to aservice woman,
and a technician, ( mechanic )

theres only one brake light switch, so the switch is ok, because my center brake light works.


they would charge me £22 a side, for changing the bulbs

so, ive come home, grabbed all my spare bulbs, ( single filiement )
tried all them, on either side, and tested all other bulbs, ( indicators, reverse and side,) they all work, even moved those bulbs into the brake light holder, and still nothing.

can any one help?? so i dont have to spend lots on audi investigating. :Flush:

thanks


also, just ordered a new window switch, £16.98, any idea where to start for removal/fitting?
