06 GTI rear left brake light error on dash

robbiew:
Hey guys i was wondering if anyone can throw a bit of light on a problem i have,

Yesterday i washed my car, same way i've always done it, but afte i take it out for a drive i get rear left brake light error on dash
I've removed the left brake light cluster and all the bulbs are ok, Indicator and lights are working just the left brake light is out.

I checked the bulb holder and it's clean of rust and dirt..

could it be the whole light bulb cluster has to be replaced or is there a sensor somewhere?

Thanks for reading..

robbiew:
anyone any ideas.

r5gtt:
replace the bulb first.

Dan_FR:
I've had this on the Leon a couple of times - it was always the bulb even though visually it looked ok and hadn't 'blown'. Replace it first before looking any further in to it

GTI8v:
I'd agree with the above, sometimes the bulbs seem to develop a 'flat' spot on the contacts preventing a good circuit.
