Hey guys, I posted this on "another" forum yesterday, but no one has replied yet.
I'm guessing since here most, if not all members, are the most knowledgeable, that maybe some can shed some light on this because it is bugging the heck out of me... Here's the post:

Hope someone can help me here:
This morning both brake lamp warning lamps came on. Coincidence? Well, I had one lamp go out about 2 years ago and then the other one within minutes of each other. So I thought nothing of it.
It was very bright when I was trying to determine which one was out. I always have enough spare bulbs around. Ended replacing all the bulbs and both brake warning lights were still on.
Searched a few other places and read about the brake light switch going bad. Also looked this up on the TIS CD:

Called the dealer and they had the part for $16, so I just came back with it, replaced it (took 15 minutes) and the friggin' warning lights are still on!. :(
The break lamps work properly.
Do I have to reset the OBC? Take it to the dealer to reset the error? or will it just go away after several ON/OFF cycles? :dunno:
Thanks in advance for any help.
