Been working on the Dayz for a while but have not been anywhere near the stop lights. Both the upper and lower. All of a sudden they come `on as soon as I connect the battery.( I dont have a spare battery so jump the RS4) the stop lights come on. All switches are off and releasing the hand/foot brake does SFA.

Any ideas please?

Stop light switch under the brake pedal stuck. It may have moved or simply stuck in the on position. Try to move it by hand - make sure it is not contacting the pedal (if it is it needs adjusting). If its not it may just be stuck down. Last resort try unplugging it.

Clearly a while since I stuck my head under the dash! Switch is on your side of the brake pedal lever so would need to be out of adjustment to be stuck on. Still plug to disconnect (if necessary) is reasonably accessible (or better still get a young fellow to do it)!

You are right. Need a midget to get under. I think 75 is a bit too long in the tooth to do all this.

most probably the rubber stopper for the switch has perished. this has happened a few times lately with the s1's i know of (probably the QLD heat and age of the rubber). easy replacement as they are off the shelf from nissan. i can check it out for u if u want Hugh.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
