Well, since a) it's NOT a '97 A4 2.8 and b) you're NOT in Rochester 
(change your damn sig, mike! <G>), that could be why.

It's an '81 Jetta?

I believe the brake light switches are located on the master 
cylinder.  At least they are in my '81 Rabbit.  The Bentley wiring 
diagram is the same for both the '81 and '82 Jetta and Convertible. 
Check that.

The reverse switch is as you know, in the tranny. They go bad, I had 
to replace one in my '84 Rabbit, and now in my '84 Scirocco.

On that topic, anyone have any tricks for getting on the bolts that 
hold the reverse switch into the tranny?????
