Flashing Lights and Beeping when stopping or starting

Guys,
I have a 2002 ML320 with some issues. The truck sat for months in our company garage and we decided to get it back on the road.

The worst issue is that when I just start the truck and put it in gear the red Brake light #18 and the Brake Pad light #24 come on and the car beeps like my seat belt is not on. I start to drive they go right out until I am almost at a standstill and they come back on and the beeping starts (3 to 4 beeps). The lights stay on as long as I have the brake on.
I have checked fluid levels and there is no issue. Brakes were done right after I started using it again.

The radio displays WAIT. I put in the code that was on my card (it was wrong) and after 3 times I got locked out. After over a week of driving Enter Code came up again finally. I called the dealer where the car was purchased and gave them the serial number on the radio AL-4210-1-07-03680 and they gave me the "correct" code of 23113 but I have put it in twice and it keeps going back to enter code. I know if I put it in one more time the radio will lock me out for 24 hours of running time. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong? I pulled the radio to get the serial number before calling the dealer.

The gas gauge stopped working. I pulled the fuse in the kick panel as suggested by a forum post and it worked until I filled up again now it doesn't work again.

Any suggestions would help.

Thanks
Bob

The brake switch on the brake pedal was replaced recently, could this be creating the light and beep issue?
