2012 Commander LTD xt 1000 Brake light won’t go out

:tools1: My 2012 Commander LTD’s brake lights never go off. I can’t reset the maintenance message either, but I’m assuming that is because the unit thinks the brakes are always on. Also, is there a method to get to the brake foot pedal items. It seems I have to take a lot of things off to get to it. Of course, I have easy access to the tail lights. Additional info: No limp mode issues and unit starts easily. Unit hauls butt.
