Help - VDC off light and Slip light

I have a 2005 Sport Coupe with an automatic, over the last few weeks I have been having issues with the VDC OFF light and the slip lights coming on at random times and staying on, pushing the button does nothing. This morning it did it again except this time the BRAKE light even came on for a few mins but then it went off on its on, to get the others off you have to turn the car off and restart it. Does anyone have any idea where to even begin with this problem

Yes I have a spoiler, but I haven't had this problem in the 2 years I have had the car, just in the last few weeks

Open your trunk and see if the wires that go to the brake light are singed or burnt or anything .. if the wires look ok it could be your brake fluid being low

I had to have my fuse replaced twice because my spoiler light blew the fuse. The wires were burnt so i had to cut it and re-attach it, been fine since. My brake, VDC, and slip light were on, I couldnt even take the gear out of park without pushing the shift lock button
