How long will a brake light switch replacement take on my Volkswagen?
A brake light switch replacement usually takes around 1 hour, but can take less or more time. Ultimately, the time that the job will take will depend on a number of factors, like your vehicle's make and model, year, as well as other factors. Select your car at the top of this page for information on job time and cost for your vehicle through ClickMechanic.
How often should I replace the brake light switch on my Volkswagen?
There are no serviceable elements in a brake light switch, so if one becomes faulty, it is simply replaced.

This can also be the case if your brake lights fail to switch off, even though there is no pressure on the brake pedal.
How common is a brake light switch replacement on my Volkswagen?
It happens occasionally, but a brake light switch replacement is not a frequent issue.
