recenty my epc light came on after i had put a new battery on, when i tried to clear it with my code reader it clears but comes back on.
I then checked my brake light switch, which i discovered it was broken so brought a new one but still the EPC light will not go!!!!!!!! if i dont touch the brakes the light doesnt come on?? the battery code has gone, but its just the brake code 16955. does any one have a clue whats going on????? :confused:

Hi Nat

Is the switch an OEM part? My clutch pedal snapped for the 2nd time and the light wouldnt go off as they garage had fitted an equivalent. Check all pedal related connections.

yes all brake lights are working now the switch i got was not a genuine one and epc light is still on but been told by a few people now to get a genuine one and that should stop the code and light keep coming back on so orderd one sat.

Finally got this sorted, orderd a new cruise contol switch and a rear light bulb holder coz the rear washer jet pipe had come apart in the past and every time you sprayed the rear washer jet it got the bulb holder wet in the boot,dont no if it was the switch or the holder that fixed this as put them both on at the same time, so no more epc light :)
