W8 (EPC) electronic power control & (ESP) electronic stability program lights HELP!!!

Hello - on my 2003 W8 - the ESP light has come on while driving and will not go off until i turn the car off - also the EPC light has come on - did not blink before staying on like the manual says - anyone have any ideas to the cause before i take it in to the dealer so i might have a heads up - also i have just added new vw wheels by the vw dealer last week - a couple of days after this the ESP light came on - now tonight both lights have come on - also funny thing the back break lights stay on after getting out of the car - i then went a tapped the break and nothing happened - i pulled up on brake and lights went off - thanks:crazy:

thanks its just my luck

dealer is 20 something hours away - bought of ebay through dealer - maybe they did knock something loose - stoped by dealer lights did not come on today when i took it by - they said probably brake sensor - and no i thought my wife hit the esp button the first time - but it happened to me also - i purchased a warranty with the car - hope it will take care of it - $25 deduc. - i will post after i find out the problem so if anyone else has problem they may can fix it themselves - anyway where is the brake sensor - because the service rep - said probably cause after i said the rear brake lights stay on after i get out of car sometimes - anyway - thanks again Heath
