Pretty much the brake switch and control unit.

Assuming there are no shorts to ground it is likely the issue is in the control unit. Many times control unit issues can be fixed by re- programming that module. If that does not work then a new control unit will need to be installed and programmed to your car.

The first thing I think is to make sure it is the stop light or tail light or fog light.

I would make sure it's not the fog light, also a bad headlight switch could also cause the issue.

I recently acquired a 1999 996 and unfortunately did not receive the radio code or the PCM code. The car was optioned with navigation and a 6 disc CD player which were both removed. As seen in the attached photo, there are two labels on the navigation unit, one Becker (X5008025) and one Siemens (P08010010279/02), with different serial numbers. Does anyone know which one would be helpful in finding the radio code and if either one would help in recovering the PCM code? 

From the Lost Radio Code FAQ....

"Can you give me a code for my PCM?
These units are manufactured jointly by Siemens and Becker, and the only place where you can get the codes required is from the dealer/OPC. The PCM’s require two codes, the ICS/Siemens code, and a Becker code. The ICS is the first code requested.
Sorry, the only place you can get a PCM code is from a dealer/OPC."

Not sure how it is configured. If the resistance changes with the switch then the switch is likely okay.

Any other ideas:

 

Becker 1

type 4466

Serial: X5844535
 

6530 didn't work, thanks again 🤞

From the  Lost Radio Code FAQ ...

"The suggested number did not work - what do I do now?
Most often when the code we give you does not work it is because the serial number came from an old card in the car rather than from the procedure stated above - or a typo in the serial number submitted. Double check the serial number you submitted using the procedure above again.
If that does not work then you will need to contact a dealer or Becker. Becker charges to look up your code and some dealers also charge.

Our program works maybe 99.9% of the time but we have no explanation why it doesn't always work."

Unfortunately got the WAIT error on this one. Any ideas?

From the Lost Radio Code FAQ ...

"I get a WAIT on the display - what do I do?
You have to wait at least 30 minutes before trying again."
