Looks like I managed to fix this issue, as error has not appeared now for about a month. I removed the bulb holder assembly with the issue (the one on the tailgate), as if I were to change a bulb, and disconnected the connector that remains attached (the one that feeds the red LEDs, including brakes), I used WD40 contact cleaner spray on all connectors, both male and female sides, including the ones that remain on the half attached to the tailgate. A 15 minute job, including reassembly. Problem solved! Will do the other side as a prevention, as is likely to have the same issue eventually. Hope this helps

Hi, i am am getting a right break light error message on my A6 Avant (2011 C6 4F). The message is intermittent, but becoming more regular. The light at fault is the one on the tail gate, on the right. As with all other light errors, the CAN stops sending a signal to the light once the error is detected, so it flashes the first time you step on the brake, beeps, displays the message, and no longer works, until I cycle the engine, clearing the error. I ran an OBD check, that tells me that the error is on the light’s grounding. Has anyone had this type of error? If so, how did you fix it? Thanks in advance
