It sounds like a short in the brake light circuit. When you are hitting the brakes, it is sending power along the positive wire of the circuit and shorting on the ground somewhere in the circuit. They make tools for finding shorts, which consists of an amp meter and circuit breaker. However, you can start by checking all wires that go to the brake lights. Start with the ones that are usually accessible through the trunk. Don't forget to check the third brake light if your vehicle has one. You will also want to check the bulb sockets themselves.

Hi Gillian, I believe that your mechanic may have tried to adjust the idle speed by carrying out an adjustment on the throttle position sensor. That would account for the problem you are experiencing now. As for it to be reset and then ask him to check for any leaking or broken vacuum pipes. Any air leaking into the intake manifold from loose damaged or cracked pipes will be a possible cause of the original problem. Regards John

You have lost programming, you must have the dealer reprogram the system.
