I'm guessing one (or more) brake sensor is failing...

If it's after 2002my then it's usually the brake light switch.......

It wouldn't be telling you there is a brake light bulb out would it?

(I've just spent 2 hours replacing one rear wheel ABS sensor - not a pleasant job.)

Had this fault last week ,changed brake light switch next to brake pedal and cured the problem ,about £8 if you look around.

brake light switch should be first port of call, especially as it clears when pressing brake pedal. it's a cheap thing to try first, dog easy to change too.

good luck

Sounds right,my ambers were coming on .I didn't realise that there was problem till my rear right indicator stopped working.I usually check all lights a few times a week,,might explain some corsa driver lit up my interior after I overtook it on the motorway.
