Have you checked the brake light switch? It could be bad or simply out of adjustment.

Tx Jacob, i have called the road ssistence "just in case". And after a chek the problem was as simple as that... The brake liquid was low. I did the service like every year 2 months ago, so i think the problem is a small liking of the oil. I find that the front right tyre has a bit of oil comming out from the centre o the tyre so i wonder if that is the problem.

IF you have brake fluid leaking from the wheel, you need to get that fixed ASAP.

If you are losing brake fluid, it will cause the system to get low again and you could lose your brakes. I would recommend that you check to confirm that is the problem.
