    Where can I find the photos that go with this DIY article?

  2. Toureg, thanks. I seem to have repeated myself here. It's a 2009 Cayenne GTS, so if what i read is true, the brake switch is part of the master cylinder. I still wonder why fooling with the wires under the carpet seems to solve the problem. tomorrow I'll take lewisweller's advice and look for the black wires, but I have looked at the bunch in general before, and don't see any solder or crimping. I must be looking in the wrong place. Can anyone provide a photo or diagram, or a more exact description as to where the wire are that I need to look a? I can see those that run from under the driver's seat toward the firewall.
  3. Thanks, you sound like you've been having some of the same problems as me. Here's one for you. Sometimes, the car starts right up. Then other times, I'll depress the brake pedal, turn the key....and nothing. Then, if I pump the brake pedal three times (not two, it has to be three), it will start, but stay stuck in park for a few minutes with all the dash lights and warnings flashing.. Then, it will release and I can drive it. I've found lately that if I reach down and wiggle the bundle of wires, it will unstick out of park, so that leads me to believe that the wires are the problem, but I don't see and corrosion or crimped wires. You wouldn't have a photo, would you? If not, where exactly should I look" Near the seat or toward the footwell? It's encouraging to talk to somebody who seems to know what I'm going through. As for the brake switch, I thought of that and might be interested if I can find out that's the problem. Is it a DIY project?
  4. I'm troubleshooting mine as we write. Occasionally, I'll depress the brake pedal and try to start the car and it won't. I've learned that when that happens, if I pump the brake 3 times (2 won't work), the car will start. Then the Brake Proportioner /ABS warning comes on and the car is stuck in park. Then, after a few minutes or less, I hear a click and I can shift and drive normally, but with the engine light still on. I've pulled up the driver's side carpet and it's not wet and none of the many wires seem to be corroded. Lately, I've noticed that if the car starts and won't shift, a good stomp or two on the floor with my left foot will cause the problem to stop. That leads me to believe it IS a wiring problem, but what should I look for?
