Brake lights won't shut off
 
New issue here. It was just bought to my attention yesterday that my brake lights stay on continuously. Even the top roof light stays on. They only way they go off is when the car is completely shut off. It's even on when in accessory mode. Any ideas why this would be happening a bad fuse perhaps

sorry I always forget to put the car details I have a 2004/03 x 3.0 sport

You should put your car in your sig....

In fact, I just updated mine to include the "3.0".

Just click on "user cp" on the top left and then click on "edit sig" on the left hand side. Enter in your car type there, click save.

Happened to me a few days back.

Have a look up under the steering column, at the top of the brake pedal, there is a switch for the brake lights, it probably has popped out, just need to put it back in, it locks in place with a twist.

Yup, I am almost positive you kicked off the brake light switch while driving. I do it from time to time when going from acceleration to brake (or vice versa) quickly. Look behind the pedals and you will likely see the switch hanging or jiggling. It fits into a notch and then give it a half-turn counter-clockwise back in place so the retractable pole lines up with the brake pedal.
