2000 VW Beetle 1.8 Turbo, 5 speed, 84K miles.

Brakes installed15K miles ago. Brake fluid at Max level. I have disconnectedthebattery to reset system. Thereare no codesas tested byAutozone andNAPA.

Any recommendations to solve this problem ?

 

Try your parking brake switch under the parking brake handle. If it has failed the system thinks you are trying to drive with the parking brake on. It may be loose in the housing and just needs adjustment. Try a simple experiment next time the light and buzzer goes off. Leave it in gear and pull up on the parking brake, release the brakeand see if the system resets.After about three minutes if the light and buzzer sounds it is probably the switch.
