I had a couple of lights come on my 172 and as said switched off and back on and they never came back

As above. Do as the navy guy does on the tv advert "sometimes i just switch it on and off again".

Also could be the adjustment of the brake pedal switch again like it normally is. If the brake pressure rises to 4 bar (iirc but its irrelevant) before the lights come on then it flags up a brake pedal switch fault. If you adjust the switch so that the brake lights come on as soon as you touch the pedal rather than having started braking well (like it is as standard) then it won't come on.

Or at least it won't be the switch then!

I had these come on (with nearly every other light), and it was the alternator going. It broke down and had to be put on a AA truck!

I'd check get your battery checked 1st. The cold might be doing it in/on its last legs.

This happened to me a few years back. It was damp getting into the engine bay area. I sprayed the whole thing with tonnes of wd40 and I hasn’t happened since

brake pedal switch as bmh.01 said, just turn it on and off again and it'll be fine! seems to be worse when its cold?
