brake curcuit failure message on the OBC screen but all my lights work properly.

I get the brake curcuit failure message on the OBC screen but all my lights work properly. Could replacing this switch fix this error or does the working brake lights rule out this switch as the reason for the error message?

You could have a bulb with the wrong resistance, setting the warning message. Inspect the bulbs, be sure they are the rigth part number. Also inspect the sockets for wear or damage.
