You did not state you had a 2.0t version of the car in your previous post. You're lucky the IPDM E/R layout is similar and fuse #60 is in the same location as the VR30 variant.

It could be that your stop lamp switch in the brake pedal assembly isn't sending a signal to allow you to shift. I don't suppose you have access to an OBDII code reader. That would sure help if you could list any DTCs that come up.

 

Is that a separate switch from the one that illuminated the stop lamps? I think I remember this topic from the past...two separate switches. It's not as simple as just looking to see if the brake lights work.

 

Some OBDII codes would be nice as well as pictures of all the errors being displayed.

 

Two switches? I guess. Why use one when two is twice as fun.

 

The stop lamp switch is off until the brake pedal is pressed. It sends a signal to the ABS actuator and electric control unit. The brake pedal position switch is on until the brake pedal is pressed. It sends a signal to the ECM. The ECM compares the two to see if they are in agreement.
