Volkswagen Repair: volkswagen jetta, volkswagen jetta, brake switch


Question
Is there ia epc reset button? The car is stuck and won't shift gears.

Answer
The epc is the electronic pedal control. The problem your having is a bad brake switch. To release from park you can try stepping on the brake pedal over and over again till the park safety light on the console goes out. If unable to then start the car take the shift knob and try to press down like shifting into reverse. Hold the shifter there and turn the car off and pull out the key. Or cycle the key. till the shifter slides into reverse. Now to get into drive you have to by pass neutral. Do the same step as you did to get into reverse. To fix this problem you have to replace the brake switch. It is under the shelf above the brake pedal. There is no reset button.
