Anyone else had this happen? My brake lights come on when I shift. A while back, a friend was following me around town. When we stopped he asked why I kept tapping my brake. I wasn't. At first I thought I might have had my foot over a tad too far and was touching the brake pedal when I shifted, but that wasn't the case. Last night, I was watching in the mirror. Sure nuff, every time I depress the clutch pedal the brake lights flash. Sometimes briefly, sometimes they stay on until my foot is off the clutch pedal. I have my own thoughts on this, but would like to hear from others.

Sounds like a mechanical fault or short somewhere. Does it happen when you depress the clutch without shifting?

[Dogstar]

That it does. It's definitely related to depressing the clutch pedal, not the actual shift. It seems to happening more frequent. I can be parked in the drive, press the clutch pedal and the lights come on.

Something is definitely cross-wired or shorted.
