Hi Fatz,
Check your stop light switch located at the top of the brake pedal, check secure and not worn/damaged, give it a sqirt of electronic contact cleaner,if technically savy check operation with a multimeter. I always remove the Battery Negative terminal prior too carrying out such cleans and tests.
Hope this helps

Hi Fatz,
From memory the stop light switch has a Left Hand thread so if you turn it clockwise then that will remove it from the brake pedal assy, when reinstalling screw in until the switch just touches the little contact pad.
