Is the security light on, by chance? If so, you may have an issue with VATS. Here's a thread about it - http://www.ls1.com/forums/f6/how-byp...highlight=Vats

Navy Blue Metallic- 98 T/A, 00 FBVert, 78T/A
There are 2 of those, one for the brake & clutch for M6 and one for A4's (break)
Not hard to replace and very common to break. Most ppl notice it when their cruise control quits working.
It is usually not the switch itself that breaks but the mounting tab.
A quick fix is use a couple of long zip ties to secure it in place. Cut the excess off. I did this 3 yrs ago and it is still working.
I just hope you can perform yoga because you need to contort yourself pretty good to get to it.
