I have heard of this happening when the brake handle is pulled up. A couple people have reported their B's trying to run away from home. This particular problem is caused by an electrical sneak caused by a bad diode. Bad, corroded connections and grounds can cause alot of interesting problems. I would recommend disconnecting the battery until your cars problem is sorted out. Do you have a wiring diagram? I find the one in the Bentley manual to be the best. I photo copied the one for my car and enlarged it to make it easier to trace the circuits. Some people laminate large copies and use dry markers to trace circuits as they are working on electrical system. I believe faulty grounds in the lighting circuit can cause this kind of sneak. Check the battery cables make sure the connections are clean and secure. Especially the ground where it connects to the body.
