could the brake light switch also be causing this to happen on a 1999 discovery II

yes and no, mostly no. if it won't come out of gear then its the brake switch.

have it diagnosed. Without the diagnosis I can't tell you anything.

Although, its not a bad idea to check for loose wheelbearings. If they are bad they will throw a code but regardless of the problem get a new wheelbearing first. Otherwise it will be really dangerous when the wheel falls off.

I had the same issue with my 2002 freelander. They placed the stop light switch and it went away( had the switch replaced because brake lights didn't work). Not sure if they are related but it's been about two months and nothing.

Freelander 2003 ES, ... had brakes done now TC light is on, and acceleration is like a 4x4 is it stuck in 4 wheel drive.
