After removing the very old and faulty alarm/immobiliser I am back to the original issue.

On some occasions after I have parked up and locked up (and after doing a walk round to be sure all lights are off) the rear brake lights will come on while I am away from the vehicle. This sometimes happens a few minutes after leaving the car and at other times it might be some hours (ie the middle of the night!).

Anyone else had this? I have crawled into the footwell and there seems to be the correct gaps round the brake switch and the peddle. Next thought was to visit the local Subaru dealer who want $150 to plug in their diagnostics computer. I could live with this if I had any faith in their abilities, but first impressions not good.

I can not find a pattern to when the lights come on, sometimes after a drive, sometimes when just getting something out of the car!!

Any thoughts welcome.
