It's a bit of a mystery lol, I had auto electrician out looking at it and after hour and half, he thought it was the battery which was always getting drained so got new battery but still no change. Thanks to everyone here who has replied and got couple of more ideas to try, I don't want to give up on this as car is in very good condition and it's the only thing stopping mot.

Thanks for taking the time to reply to me, the high level light is on when boot lid is up but goes off when boot shut, I have done a vcds on the car and everything seems fine. It's a bit of a puzzler and really hoping it's not ECU hence trying all I can just now. Again thanks for taking the time to reply and to help me, its much appreciated

I dont know as it was garage who changed the switch, they said they had to eventually put a genuine part in. My switch is not at the pedal but it's in the master cylinder in the engine, there is a space at pedal for the switch but no connector/wires to connect to

Thank you for your help and advice and I will try the reboot as I've not done that yet, put new battery in but within 3 days it was drained and wouldn't start the car but will get it sorted out and charge it up. Again thanks for taking the time to reply and for advice 👍

Hi all, I'm looking for a bit of help and advice, I have a skoda Octavia estate 1.9tdi 4x4 2006 (55) plate, when I start the car, the brake lights are staying on, I can disconnect them from the lights and reconnect them and they stay off and work as normal. This only happens when I start the car, whatever the problem is, its draining my battery as put new one in and 3 days later its flat. I have changed the switch, which for my year, was in master cylinder in engine, I have changed the battery and bulbs. This problem is the only thing stopping me from getting it mot'd and I really appreciate any help or advice to solve this issue.
