My 56 had a similar problem that would turn on the brake lights unpredictably after the car was shut down. But it was always a matter of a few minutes, not hours. Replacing the three prong sender switch (located almost under the battery tray) with a NOS switch seems to have solved the problem. But strangely, that cure took a few days to make things work as they should. At first, the old problem persisted, even with the new switch. My prayers might have caused the solution to take place eventually. One of the mysteries of having a 58 year old car.
