Could be many things, check stoplight bulb contacts and make sure they are clean first, could be the ARC acting up, they are known to do this on occasion. Goes without saying check all other electircal connections as well. I hear a can of de-oxit can work wonders. Hope that helps,

Check or pull brake light relay behind false firewall to be sure it is not stuck on or not working, Do you have brake lights stuck on too or no brake lights?

G'Day Ron,

Check your brake pads.

Another common failure point is the stop lamps control unit mounted on a small frame under the glovebox. Originally white the newest replacements are balck (or dark grey). Usual failure mode is flashing those lights when the brake pedal is pushed though.

Another fault is a break in the pad wear sensor wire which can cause premature signalling of a worn front brake. Usually this is a pedal pushed issue also.

From my observations pad wear should only be indicated when pedal is pushed. If light comes on when pedal is not pushed it was bulbs. It could still be many things after all these years.
