99 Passat GLX V6-No lights, turn signals, wipers & brake light indicator stuck on

I recently experienced a problem where the following items stopped working simultaneously: headlights (low & fog), turn signals, windshield wipers.

Also, my "brake" indicator light on the dash (like your emergency brake is on) stayed lit with emergency brake off. The high beams would still work.

The problem started at night after car was running for 30 minutes. I parked the car overnight (7 hours) The following morning the problem was still present. After driving for about an hour the problem went away; everything started working. All fuses checked okay.

The same thing happened about four months ago.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Craig

Yup, it sounds like the ignition switch. Had the same thing go on an Audi of mine.

Could it be the load reduction relay? See if the same circuits are disabled when you are starting the engine.
