[V8] No rear brake light wackyness

[Ron Wainwright]

I did check the switches at the back of the brake
pedal...there's a Black one & Clear/White one..which
do I check. But anyway....
...I put a circuit tester on the wires there & the
circuit tester doesn't light up..as I mentioned in my
original post.
 But not sure why those would be bad...I've never had
to replace them in any Audi I've owned.
