Tailgate lights on, engine off
I have just gone outside and noticed my qashqai 2013 has got it's tailgate lights on but just the lights at the back? It was fine earlier and have not used the car today. Any ideas why? I have disconnected the battery for tonight as I need the car tomorrow, hopefully that is OK to do?
Wow, overwhelmed with the responses thank you 
. Today I drove the car and the anti skid orange light came on too as well as the "off sign" next to it. I cannot also use the cruise control and disables it if I try to use it. I have also noticed again tonight the tailgate lights have come on after dark?

Sorry can't help on this one but maybe it has a problem with body control unit. These tend to give weird faults. Maybe book it in for a diagnostic check with a reputable dealer. Post back when you get to the bottom of it.

If it were just the rear lights on, I'd think maybe dodgy earth. But after what's happened today I'd think it's more serious than that.
As suggested, get a diagnostic check done.

Thanks all. It seems to be this problem (see article below) after much searching online as my cruise control is affected. I cannot get an appointment at a garage before 3 Jan which is a pain, I just need to source the part if anyone knows a good website where I can just put in my car model and try and fix it myself.
I would bet you $5 your relay is not the issue and is fine. The little stopper caps/bushings dry out over time, crack, then fall out. You should be able to see my replacement in the photo... one is for cruise control brake cutoff and one is for the brake light itself. When the cruise control one cracks you wont be able to engage cruise because the car will think you are braking, and when the brake one falls off the brake lights will constantly be on. Get under the console with a coin, hit the brake, and shove a coin in there. That will temporary turn the brakelights off - the coin will fall out when you drive though, so only a temporary solution.
This is the part you need if you want to do it by the book: Nissan 46512-H0101 OEM Rubber Stopper for Brake Light - You can see by my photo the green nob looking thing. You also should be able to see in my photo my homemade contraption. I took a plastic wine cork and cut 2 slivers out. I threaded one through a small screw and popped that in the cap, and then screwed the other sliver on the other end. It does the same thing as the cap and cost me $0.

Does anyone know how this problem was finally solved? I have the exact same problem, except for that rear lights are not fully on, but are flickering sort of thing. My car is a Qashqai 2010, 2.0 l, gasoline.
