Rear brake lights staying on - Welshy_Pete - 18-03-2015
My rear brake lights on my other 306 hdi are staying on when the ignition turned to the turn before starting. Also when the car started the lights also stay on the rear window light and 2 back lights stay on also.
There a click from the starter motor also as well.

Hello yes the brake lights. But would the clicking on the starter motor when turning the key be effect by the brake light switch?

I doubt they're linked tbh.
Starters do click when the solenoid engages so I'm not really sure what the problem is there? Are there any other problems with the starter other than the click?

The car fine it just started playing up the brake lights and the click loud sound when you turn the key both the same time.
I try another brake switch and see if that solves the lights. the click on the starter motor not sure on that one at the moment.

Sometimes the brake switch can just come dislodged. Worth a check

be the brake switch failed, as that's what happened to mine, Its a bastard mind to get access to!
RE: Rear brake lights staying on - Welshy_Pete - 19-04-2015
I fixed the problem and used a long nose pliers and moved the switch forward. So now the brake lights work fine also the clicking in the engine bay stopped now.
I wouldn't like to change the switch one hell of a job just looking at it.
