Default Brake lights always on

Hey all,
I have a 96 A4. The issue this car is having is simple, and actually the same thing happened in my Golf.
The brake lights are always on! Bad return spring?
When you actually apply preasure to the brake pedal, the front left turn lamp goes on
Also the there is a chime when the door is open and you push the brakes. Tell me this is simple.Please.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Default Sounds like you might have a short in the left rear assembly.

Check to see if the parking lights come on too when you hit the brake pedal. This would cause the door chime to come on.<p><a href="http://registry.audiworld.com/audi/registry/details.asp?car=5395"><IMG SRC="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/audiworldpics/2000/cmhatp0016.jpg" border="0"></a>

Thanks for the response!!

Okay so it's possible when I relaced the bulbs in back that I shorted out the assembly. The left parking light up front does come on!
So am I using the wrong bulbs? Or is it possible I would have to replace the entire rear bulb assembly?

Did you use the right lamps?
