It could be a blown fuse. Tail lights and brake/turn are on separate fuses. Apparently there is not a ground problem since brake/turn works OK.
they are not brake lights they are fog lights and they turn on because it is for the car behind to see you
How do you replace brake lights
The brake lights won't turn off because the brake light switch on the pedestal of the brake pedal needs to be replaced.
Since most brake/turn use the same filament in the bulb(1157) then if the turn signal switch is bad or offset then it will effect the brake lights.
Sounds like you have a problem with your brake light switch under the dash, mounted on your brake pedal metal arm assembly. I know if I get my head down near the brake pedal and push the pedal with my hand I can hear a loud click noise when the brake lights come on. I'm not a mechanic, but I've wondered if the brake fluid level is down in the master cylinder, does the brake pedal drop enough for the brake light switch to turn on the brake lights ?
Generally brown is used for running lights, green for right turn and brake, yellow for left turn and brake.
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.
turn the inside lights off
turn signal switch needs replaced!
Fuse 7 controls the brake lights. It should be a red 10amp fuse.
