Default Brake Lights come on when parked

I have a 2010 C70 coupe.
I am away on holiday and my car is parked on the drive, my friend and neighbour is staying looking after animals and has noticed the brake lights keep coming on my car whilst it is parked. Anyone got ideas why this would happen thanks

sounds like you have a short, possibly in the brake pedal switch that is completing the circuit. perhaps you have mice chewing on your wires (seriously can happen).

it is not a short, it is the switch is set too fine, i cheated with mine i moved the cable in the fuse box to a fuse that only works when the ignition is on,, it took me weeks to discover why i was getting flat batteries.
