Just had a call from the guy storing my V12V to say the brake lights are permanently on. Car has been on battery conditioner 24/7 for last 2 months. Started no problem but brake lights wont go out.

What do we do? Will disconnecting the battery cause any other issues?

Update. Yes the brake light fuse has been pulled. AM in London were called who were very helpful. It's a known issue and an upgrade is available for the brake light switch which looks like is faulty.
They're sending someone tomorrow aft to fix, so jobs a good'n.....hopefully!

Had the same problem on my DB9 - foot brake switch. Caused real issues with the auto box as it wouldn't change up gear as it thought I was braking!
