I have an 2002 Audi TT Roadster Quattro.. and... I just took a long drive up to maine for the weekend from Boston MA, and when I got there and shut off the car the brake lights will not shut off. I have a feeling maybe the brake sensor or abs switch is bad. I am right now having to pull the fuse out to turn the brake lights off. Audi has a long wait for service, and I wanted to see if anyone had and quick ideas on what to check... thanks a million for any help!!

You might want to check the adjustment of the brake light switch. It would be located on the brake lever above where you press it with your foot.
It might need to be loosened a bit.

I cant seem to locate it... how high up in the back is it? thanks again...
I'm not sure with the TT, but it's worth bearing in mind that an increasing number of cars have lights switched directly by the pressure in the brake lines.
I'd call a mechanic and ask, if I were you...
Increasing number? That's how the brake switch was arranged in my dad's '58 Rambler!
LOL thanks guys for your help.. I have an appointment with the dealer on thursday. Thanks again!
The switch is on the master brake cylinder on my '62 DKW, and my 1980 5k (actually, there's 2 on the latter) Cheers! Steve Sears
