Want this question answered?
The most likely cause is a defective brake light switch; It is located towards the top of the brake pedal.
is your e-brake on?
brake lights say lit after ignition has been shut off. lights shut off after hitting the brakes.
push your parking {emergency} brake down one click. that not enough to engage the brake or cause any drag on the brakes , but the truck will think its parked, as the daytime runnig light switch on the e-brake pedal will disengage. only one setback though, the brake light on the dash WILL light.
The brake light switch is broken or out of adjustment.
The brake light switch is broken or out of adjustment. The brake light switch is attached to the brake pedal lever above the brake pedal pad.
If it is the tail lights, it is the headlight switch. If it is the brake lights, it is probably the brake light switch. I really don't know how to replace the bulb in the 3rd light. change the brake light bulb first it may be shorted causeing the other problem
I just had this problem on my 98 Frontier because the brake lights were staying on. I had to replace the brake light switch and the brake light button for it to go out.
Check the brake light switch adjustment.
Possibly the brake light switch at the brake pedal has stayed depressed or stuck.
brake booster has probably gone bad.
It's probably your'e brake light switch sticking ,i think it's down under the brake pedal connected to the pedal try pulling up on pedal , check switch,unplug it see if lights go out
