Seat Tarraco Brake Light Switch Problems

Sticking, you say? Hmm, I haven't noticed anything obvious. Where exactly should I be looking for this sticking? And no, no recent work on the brake system, thank goodness. This error message with the tail light issue just appeared out of nowhere.

Yeah, have a look at the pedal's movement, make sure it's fully returning after you release it. If it's not, even a tiny bit, it can mess with the brake switch. The workshop should be able to diagnose it quickly or replace the switch if necessary.

Well, I feel a bit silly now. Turns out, my foot was ever so slightly resting on the brake pedal. Just enough to trigger the brake light switch and throw the whole system into a tizzy. Adjusted my seating position, and poof, error's gone! No switch replacement needed, thankfully. A big thank you for your help and insights, I really appreciate it! Cost me absolutely nothing which is always a win.

I had something similar happen on my Tarraco. Check the brake pedal itself, is it sticking at all? Also, did this start happening after any recent work on the brake system?
