Brake lights are on continuously while you are driving. Every time the brake pedal is depressed.
Often this type of behavior is caused by a bad ground for the lighting circuit. Check the ground circuit for the brake lights.
Check the brake light switch first. It is usually near the brake pedal under the dash. A bad turn signal switch can also cause this if the brake lights are also turn signal lights. If the brake lights are independent of the turn signals then disregard the switch problem. A good wiring diagram will help to diagnose the problem also. Check with dealership mechanics as they have access to diagrams.
It turns the rear brake lights on as a safety feature. The brake pedal is pushed in, causing the fluid to move forward in the brake cylinder,activating a brake light switch. Even if the vehicle is off, the lights will still come on.
More than likely the brake light switch is defective or out of adjustment.
If the car/truck is running, it will not make a difference. However, if there was an electrical short on one of the wires that leads back to the brake lights, it might slowly draw power while the engine is off.
Yes, it has brake lights.
Yes they indeed have brake lights...
Then the brake lights are out but the middle one still lights up. (:
check the fuse, brake lights have their own, & check the brake switch at the top of the brake pedal
are you sure it is the brake lights and not the tail lights. if it is the brake lights you most likely have a short some where. go to a auto eletrican It is the brake lights which turn on. Short in the switch or the wiring?
on the brake pedal under the dash is a brake light switch. that when you depress the brake it turns your lights on. you might wanna check that
The brake lights and the tail lights are separate circuits. Check the brake light fuse, then check the brake light bulbs, then check the brake light switch.
No , the rear brake lights do not turn on when you use your parking brake , just the brake light on your dash is supposed to come on
they are not brake lights they are fog lights and they turn on because it is for the car behind to see you
the brake lights are on a separate cuircut,if your brake lights are staying then it will be a fault with the brake light switch. the switch is located under dash,and will be on or very close to brake pedal.
Fuse 7 controls the brake lights. It should be a red 10amp fuse.
