Brake light HELP!!

[guyb]

Hi,

My brake lights have started coming on late at night and then are on until you press the pedal.

I'm not sure if its the temperature but I'm worried the battery will start to go flat now!!

Anyone shed any light on??

Thanks

Guy

More details if you can...

Do they come on after you've parked the car up, locked and switched off?

Do they go off once you touch the pedal or do you have to press it some of the way down to get them to come off?

Sounds like a strange fault.

It is very strange.... a bit of research on t'internet and have found people mentioning brake fluid or the switch??

Yep - they come on once parked up, locked and switch off. Only at night...

As soon as you even lightly press the pedal they switch off and back to normal!

Thanks for the reply

Sounds like the switch to me, but odd that it only happens at night???

What model do you have? Year? Any Options on it like auto lights?
