I recently purchased a beetle and am having problems with it. I cannot figure kjust for the life of me what is wrong with it. I have replaced my brakeswitch in the car and checked all my fuses but my brake lights still dont wirk. My passenger side headlight also blew and so has my passenger side blinker. I also have a xheck engine light on, an epc light and the radio in my car doesnt work. Help!!#

One thing at a time here, best to start with a diagnostic scan to see why the check light is on, let me know what the codes that are set.

I've got my brake lights working and my headlight! My ABS and Brake light are still on. My check engine light is also still on. I will head to autozone as soon as I can and reply with my codes! Thank you so much :)
