Check the brake light switch for proper adjustment or possibly it is defective. You will find it mounted on the brake lever under the dash, or possibly it is a pressure switch connected to the master cylinder. Any VW dealer can tell you where it is.

Reverse lights work and signals but brake lights will not work fuses and bulbs are working on 2001 ford expedition?
There is a switch under brake pedal. This switch controls the brake lights. They some times go bad. Have someone stand behind vehicle while you push on brake pedal, if no brake lights come on. Try pushing the brake switch by hand. Check for power with a voltmeter.

How can you disable Dodge Sport Caravan running lights to make it home on battery with broken alternator?
The running lights will turn off when the emergency brake is on by tripping a switch connected to the emergency brake. Pushing in the emergency brake slightly will do the trick, but make sure you don't push in too far or you will be driving with the emergency brake on!
What is wrong on a 96 Chevy pickup when brake lights stay on when driving but when you push on the brakes the lights come off?
I would first check your brake light switch which is attached to your brake pedal under the dash. Since you can turn off the lights by pushing the pedal it is possible the switch is bad. They are around $10.00.I hope this helps you. Mark

First check to see if you have brake lights, if no brake lights you have a bad shift interlock switch,it is a small black box located behind your brake pedal.It's about $45.00 from the dealership. I keep a spare in my van.

My 2003 caravan has tail lights and turn signals but the brake lights don't work we've replaced the fuse and brake light switch don't know what else it could be Any ideas would be helpful?
Behind steering wheel is a set of contacts that disable the brake lights when a turn signal is on, they may be stuck in the off brake light position. Try pushing the turnsignal arm to its limit and then wiggle it....careful you do not brake it off. Also check for brake light switch adjustment.
Every now and then the brake lights turn on and the brake pedal is not being depressed whats going on?
Sticking Brake LightsI had this very same problem when I owned a Nissan 300zx. There is a switch in front of the brake pedal that when the brake pedal is pressed the metal part of the pedal presses down on a little button which turns the brake lights on when pressing the pedal. What I did was I got under the dash, took a flashlight and put a little piece of tape in between the pedal and the switch. It acted as a cushion because the pedal wasn't pushing down on the switch as it was pushing on the tape and when I pressed on the pedal the lights would come on but the tape pushed the pedal back to shut the switch off. If you want to avoid all this consider having your brake pedal adjusted. If your brake lights come on still consider having your cars wiring checked out.
