Thanks - I will have a look in this area after looking at the photos you posted this area may be affected

The wiring running down the passenger side under the door sill is a common area for a bad splice with the brake light switch cable.

Do yourself a huge favour and get a decent scan tool if doing your own work!!!

Yeah what he said.

And also yes Transmissions R US to look at your tranny (is the word tranny going to be offensive?)

Thanks!! Interesting problem. I plan to lift the carpet and the plastic door sill plate things to investigate. I does seem to correlate that the electrical issues have subsided as the carpet in the passenger footwell dries out.
