Back brake lights stay on. Seems like brakes are stuck as I can start my car without pressing the brakes and can get it out of the park position without having to push the brakes. I had to disconnect my battery to keep it from being drained.

The brake relay is defective. It's causing the car to think the brake is engaged and you cannot use the accelerator. The nissan tech notes even recommend bypassing part of the system when you repair.

Brakes make a clicking noise almost as if the pads are bouncing around at any speed with light brake application. Engine cooling fan is making a racket bouncing off of shroud when the heat or a/c is turned on. It is the passenger side fan.
