2009 Passat CC 2.0TDI

Okay, about three years ago I had the flashing amber light in the dash EPB button, along with the Parking Brake dash warning light. The Auto Hold also stopped working and the EPB couldn't be activated by the dash button (you could hear that the motor wasn't activating). Seems a common problem!!! Fault 02433 (Supply Voltage for Right Parking Brake Motor (V283) - sporadic 007 - Short to Ground) from my hand-held scanner.

Anyway, the problem came and went, and then pretty much hung around permanently.

So, bought a new dash-mounted EPB button (Topran brand from Run Auto Parts) and installed. Result - problem gone! Coincidentally had a new battery installed around the same time!

Three years later problem has returned with same 02433 code!

Any ideas/suggestions? Any feedback would be appreciated.
