Faulty pedal sensor may be? You have ABS I think? Go here:

Sorry, you'll have to copy-and-paste, Thunderbird doesn't seem to have
an easy-to-find 'make hyperlink' function.

OK, it made a hyperlink after all but linked to the wrong thing, scroll
up from that link position to the error codes, the one you want says
"Faulty pedal sensor: shorted to ground or supply".

Also possible that the relay controlling the lamps is cooked. Not sure about
the 850, but on the 7 series, it's behind the fuse panel, and is big, round
and red...and expensive.

That's the lamp failure sensor which controls the warning light on the
dash. I've seen them fail a few times and each time I was able to fix it
by touching up the solder joints on the circuit board inside.

Common on the 850 is the brake light switch. And the failure sensor is
located in the left frame rail inside the trunk, about 1 foot from the
rear of the car.
