My 2000 2003 jetta lock in park sometimes the epc light is always on does this have something to do with it?
Yes. There is a switch that is located under the dash. When you press on the brake it should make the light go out. If it doesn't, the switch probably needs to be replaced. You can see the switch if you look up to toward the top of the brake's arm. You can remove it by turning it a quarter turn and pulling back and then unplugging it. I had the same problem and replacing the switch solved it.
Why do the tail lights remain on if the car and lights are off?
Check it On top of the brake pedal there is the shaft that connects the brake pedal to the brake switch. There could be of two problems with your tail lights being constantly on. 1: The spacer between the the brake pedal switch and the shaft of the brake pedal is broke ( The brake pedal switch which is bout the size of a cork has a tip at the end that moves in out of the switch easily.) This broken spacer will cost about a buck at your local auto store. Easy to fix. This is mostly likely the case... if that doesn t work 2: The switch need to be replaced. Fairly easy for the do-it yourselfer, will cost around $25 for the switch. Save you alot of money and time if you check for yourself these two steps in ascending order. Hope it helps.

I checked the fuse checked the bulbs, even replaced them all with no luck. but I did find what was wrong. The tail lights are all on one harness that connect the sockets to each other. I replaced that harness and the brake lights worked again.
