I took the car to the mechanic today and the "believe" based on the codes in VAGCOM that it's the parking brake control module. I would hate to spend (roughly) $2000 to change this out with out certainty and find it was only a fault Parking switch.
The light on the dash was on and the brake would have trouble engaging or disengaging (working intermittently). Through research I found two of the highest possibilities: 1. Parking brake switch failure. 2. Brake control module. I ordered a new parking brake switch for $15, replaced and all works fine again. orivers66.
