Default Code 1295 & Traction Control System

I will post plenty of pics later, but I have done a bunch of mods on my car and recently entered it in a show (got 1st). These include iforged 19/20's, Bilstein shocks, clear lenses all around- plus LED's, new Optima battery, and 4.10 gears.
Everything is good, except my Traction Control comes on all the time now. I properly installed the wheel sensors, and the first few times I drove it everything worked correctly.
I keep getting code 1295, which is Brake lamp swith open? Are the LED's in my housings causing this code which is tripping the Traction control? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had a similar problem, but with the stock tail lights. Turned out the switch on the brake pedal was going bad. When braking, the brake lights would not come on which resulted in the EBTCM sensing decelleration without the brakes pressed. This was forcing my traction control to keep shutting off.

Very interesting
I am thinking the lack of resistance caused by LED's might be the problem. I wonder if adding resistors in line, or even wiring bulbs behind the housing would remedy this.

Did you replace the switch or the dealership?
Warranty or how much?
