Nonworking Brake Lights

Yes, it could be the brake light switch [either not properly adjusted, or defective], BUT there could be other causes:

  • One of the several connector plugs in the brake light wiring could be disconnected.
  • Any on of the conductors [wires] in the brake light circuit could be cut, broken, or disconnected
  • A ground wire could be cut, broken, or disconnected.
  • At any one of the above connections, there could be a buildup of corrosion which cuts off the flow of electricity.

There could be other causes which do not come to my mind at the moment.

How do you install a brake light switch with cruise in a 1990 Jeep Cherokee?

Start by removing the connections for the cruise control and brake lights, then remove the bolt that holds the switch to the brake pedal. Once the brake pedal is loose the switch is held on the brake pushrod by a bushing with nylon retaining washers. Carefully remove one washer and slide the bushing out, the switch can now be removed from the pushrod. Installation is the reverse; line up the hole on the switch with the hole on the pushrod, make sure the tabs for the cruise control and brake lights are facing properly. Reinstall the bushing and replace the other nylon washer, replace the bolt and tighten. Lastly connect the brake lights and cruise control.

Why would the rear running lights stay on after your Honda Civic 2000 is off and it's not the light switch?

What do you mean by running lights?? If it is the brake lights you are talking about, it may be the brake switch. this switch is on the brake pedal and makes the lightrs come on when you press the pedal. if you look to the very top of your brake pedal you should see this switch and a wire connected to it.(You may have to remove some of the trim, you may not. Im not to sure on this year. Hope this helps you some.
