For some time there has been a problem with the warning lights and warning alarm activating for no reason when the car is parked. has anyone else had this problem? and if so has anyone some suggestions?

3 amps is a lot , 36 watts a boot light or glovebox light is only 1/4 amp
have you got a brake vacuum pump behind the left front wing ?
