(ot) passat brake light failure

[vwscir88@hotmail.com (The Hitman)]

light switch is fine, actually both are fine. we switched them between my 
passat and my friend brian's. both switched worked in his car, neither did 
in mine. i think i have it narrowed down to between the switch and fuse box, 
have to do a lil further testing tonight though.
