Owners Forums for Ford and Volkswagen MPVs / SUVs

Hi guys, thanks for the welcome to the forum
I bet you have had this question asked loads before ! I own a 2005 Galaxy Ghia 1.9 TDI with a 6 speed box and the 150 horsepower lump ...... its an absolutely brilliant car ! , its only had 1 owner before me , although its done 195,000 miles and has a pretty decent service history to its name , in the 14 months I have owned it , it has been great , but , a slight downside is I have noticed some weird stuff going on electrically over the past 6 months !   .   I get the hazard lights flash twice when I either use the drivers side electric window switch , with erratic window operation or no operation of the window on most occasions !  though the other window switches seem to work fine .  I also get the hazard lights flash twice when I press the rear screen heater switch , and the hazards are accompanied by a  " click " like a relay inside the dash behind the clocks , but not pulsing like a flasher relay .  I have also recently had a  "check brakes "  warning light come up on the dash  , I have not seen it again for a week though although my partner drove it when the light came on, and said that the car didn't seem to stop as sharply as usual  ( the car has new discs/pads ,and handbrake cables fitted, also the master cylinder , brake lines , and servo seem ok and I have had no braking problems myself with the car when I have driven it - even when that warning light came on ! .... I stopped the car , turned ignition off, waited for half a minute , then started it up again - I did this twice and so far that warning light hasn't came up since in a week ) I have also had bulb warning light come on occasionally on the dash, but all bulbs are fine ! ......hmmmmm? ........ I was wondering if the wiring under the door/tailgate gaiters is at fault here , or is there a more sinister culprit for these faults ? your help and advice will be very much appreciated here     also, could anyone point me in the direction of accessing the OBD port in this car please ? so I can do a scan for error codes 

thanks for your time here guys , much appreciated

Beaten to it by mirez, I would be very surprised if those weird electrical gremlins were not caused by the door/tailgate wiring shorting across circuits.

The pad sensor wiring plugs will be shot if mine were anything to go by,standard plug seems weak and prone to water ingress due to location, I ended up chopping them out and soldering and heat shrinking the sensor wire to the loom.
