Kinda thinking you might be right...bcm issue....did you look for moisture on the right side passenger footwell? Sometimes the bcm gets damp/wet ....sometimes it can be saved/dried out.

Had the brake light say on after I shut the car off before. Was a sticky brake light.

Did you disconnect that switch ?

Then second the BCM sometimes can get wet and decide to do its own thing. Convertibles have there own from hardtops. Look like this below.
