I'm not up on VWs by any sense of the word, but if it's the red lamp, check the sensor in the master cylinder and the switch on the parking brake lever. On some of the older imports, the brake lamp would illuminate if there was a charging system problem, but I doubt this is the case. I'm assuming that you are not noticing any abnormalities in braking. And, as you said, the master cylinder is full.

I'm not sure that we've checked the sensor in the master cylinder, so we'll do that. But I know the switch on the parking brake lever is not the problem. Also I'll mention the charging system to my husband just in case. No abnormalities braking. Thanks for the reply!

I'm afraid I may have sent you on a wild-goose chase. I was concentrating on the brake lamp and disregarded the other things that are happening at the same time. Yes, it does sound like an electrical problem. Electrical happens to be my weakest (among many) points. Sorry. Hopefully, someone more knowledgable will jump in and be able to help.
