We fix the car for brakes, put new shoes and drums, but now my break lights stay on and is killing my battery. I been disconnecting my battery every time I turn it off, it wont kill my battery. Also is acting crazy inside,showing all the codes, and light goes off, every one minute, also it accelerates, when its in a stop.

As far as the brake lights, have you checked the switch? To be honest, there is nothing you would have done when replacing the brakes that would cause the lights to stay on.

As far as the check engine light, you need to have the computer scanned to determine what trouble codes are causing the light to come on. Most parts stores will do it for free.
