My brake lights keep coming on and staying on for no reason even though I have had the brake light switch replaced. Is there some sort of driver error that could cause this? It's very annoying as it changes the transmission and can drain the battery overnight. 2004 A4 1.8T Conv.

TIA

 

If you ride your brake or dont know how to not let the car COAST then maybe you can go through pads every month out other then that no,

 

Pretty sure you got your answer in this thread:

How does it "change the transmision" and why do you think you are "driving wrong"?

 

I have had the brake light witch replaced already, but after a month this began again. No I am not riding the brake pedal. Sometimes the transmission cuts out (can't accelerate momentarily) when the brake lights come on.

The shop said "it may be the way you're interacting with the brake pedal."

 

Check the brake switch under the pedal again. Sounds like there is a short or bad connection.

 

Its gotta be the brake light switch, again. Who replaced it? The dealer?

 

A local shop that specializes in Audi. This seems so simple.
