It mibht be the MC itself, or a vacuum problem. I had a similar problem in
my van with the brake lights, but it was because the booster was applying
the brakes while the van was moving. I couldn't make sense of the van
stopping and the brakes not releasing until it hit me that it was only
while in motion and it was getting worse. I then realized that the only way
this could happen was a vacuum of some sort, so I disconnected the vacuum
hose form the engine, no more brake problems. I believe a bad booster, and
the thing is only 23 years old. They don't last long, apparently.

So, instead of disconnecting the fuse, try the vacuum line, and see what
happens when the booster is off line. Just a thought.
