Hi there,

I have an 05 Ibiza FR TDi 130 and have a flashing glow plug warning light and TCS light on constantly.

I also have no passenger and driver side brake lights. High level brake light works ok.

The warning lights came on a couple of weeks ago then disappeared but are now on whenever the car is driven. The car performs as it should, no loss of power or hesitation.

After trawling the other threads for solutions I've replaced the brake light switch (even though the high level light was working ok) just in case it cleared the flashing glow plug warning light. It didn't.

Any other ideas what might be causing it? I have a feeling it's electrical which isn't my bag at all!
Would a blown fuse (for the rear cluster brake lights) make the dash warning lights come on?

I've ordered a diagnostic scanner which will hopefully shed some light but any help in the meantime would be appreciated seeing as it'll be a few days before it arrives.

Cheers

Well there were no fault codes returned.
Checked fuses and all ok.

Replaced both brake/sidelight bulbs. Turns out they had both blown so having two blown brake lights must bring up warning lights.

TCS light went out on first turn of ignition however the glow plug light still flashed.
Glow plug light cleared when I turned the ignition whilst holding foot on the brake pedal.
