Ok so. ive checked all the fuses including the ones in the kick panel and ive replaced the switch at the pedal. My tail lights are staying on like I'm constantly braking. ive searched that many forums and no one is having this problem. or if they are its the switch or the fuses. so HOPEFULLY someone can help.

If the brake lights are staying on it is more than likely the cushion the brake switch is meant to stop on has perished and it is allowing it to go to full extension and stay on..

Are they the correct bulbs? the double filament ones

 

I know it's probably not, but it may be something that has been overlooked

chillin i checked the globes they are both double filament. Medicine_man i swapped the switch though i doubt two switches would have the same problem. i also noticed the left side is brighter than the right would a wire between the two clusters shorting out cause a problem like this?

i was not talking about the switch being faulty.

 

i was saying there is a pad it rests on to keep the contacts open / switch off till you apply the brake pedal

 

you were saying that it stays on when your foot is not on the pedal?

theres a little tab the switch screws through thats fine.

yeah the lights just stay on.

or do you mean on the pedal itself. sorry if i seem stupid haha. just hard picturing things with out someone pointing at them =D

at the very tip of the brake switch there should be a small rubber pad to stop/cushion the pin of the switch from coming out until the brake pedal is pushed away giving it room to come out. When it perishes and falls away the switch pin goes straight though the hole that is now there leaving the switch at closed contact position/on.

 

yeah i get what you mean now man. theres nothing wrong with the pad. when i put the new switch in i didnt put it back in case it didnt work.

i pushed the little button in when i turned my lights on and it made no difference.

so thats why I'm so confused and frustrated about why its not working.
