If it is the AOS, get it fixed right away if underwarranty. A friend's AOS went while he was driving. It stranded him. Very costly to fix out of warranty (approx $1000).

When I step lightly on the brake pedal, the brake lights come on but when I step on them a bit harder (less than even the normal pressure to stop the car), the lights go out.
