drumstick Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 Hi all. car is a 2005 passat B6 model. I have an intermittent problem where the parking break motors are making a noise (or at least one is) but the break won't release. Any advise will be greatly recieved. I have taken matters in to my own hands and removed the fuses, in my haste I removed all fuses which included one that power the ABS. I gave replace those and just left out the 20amp one for the motors in the calipers. Another problem I have now is the the ESP light is permanently on. The ABS works fine. Is there a method is resetting the ESP. Thanks for any help you can give me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-bmw Posted September 24, 2014 Report Share Posted September 24, 2014 The ESP is probably on from the ABS fuse being removed. You may need a cheap fault reader to reset the warning light, or chase the issue further. As for the BRAKE motors, I have no knowledge of the car or this syatem, so can't help.

cruiser647 Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Do you use the parking brake button to put it on and off? Or just pull away so it 'flips' off? Maybe the caliper motor is just knacked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumstick Posted October 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2014 I mostly use the switch to release the brake and to apply it. But I do use the auto-hold a lot. Well I did...... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
