check your brake lights are working.
If not, replace/repair brake switch.

I may ask the question? why would brake lights affect the glow plug lights . Seems like the more technology progresses the more weird things happen .

This is not something new, exactly the same on my '01 T4. VW just use the glow plug light for multiple uses.
Understand how it works, troubleshoot logically BEFORE replacing parts.

Yep...does double duty on the T4 diesels as a 'check engine' light. Which is kind of bizarre when the only time I've seen it flash is when the brake light switch has turned turtle
Could be worse I s'pose...it could just dump the entire driveline into 'limp home' mode instead. That'd be fun.
