Evening all,I hope one of you experts can help.

Is the brake light switch the same for auto transmission as for manual? (04 plate 1.4 BBY Auto)

I just had the EPC and Engine Management lights come on,but being close to home I ignored them and carried on. Its just as well i did because on getting home I stopped to unload then restarted to park the car only to find the auto box locked in Park, and no amount of stamping on the brake pedal would shift it.  I managed to reseat the wiring connector by reaching under the facia panel and luckily it started but now I don't trust the switch and intend to change it using the excellent guide on here.(Mr Haynes says I need to dismantle half the car!!)

 

Yep, looks like its the same across the Mk1. This  (item 1) is looking up for 2004. I think you'll get the same for any other year though.

Thanks much appreciated,I'll get one ordered.

I got a friend with garage facility access, to decode it and the only code showing was "brake light switch" so hopefully I'll get a cure.
