How do you get tail lights to turn off when the car engine and lights are off?

Look up under your dash where the brake pedal is attached, you will see a switch that makes the brake lights turn on when you step on the pedal and off when you leave off the pedal. The switch is probably stuck. In the meantime you could disconnect the negative battery cable so your battery doesn't die.

Why would your 1993 Lincoln Town Car blow the fuse for the tail lights when you turn on head lights?
short to ground check bulbs in tail, corrosion can do it
Dash lights and tail tight inop on 93 suburban but the brake and turn signals work its not the fuse under the dash?
A short in the tail light circuit. Brake and turn are on another circuit. Dash light power is fed from the tail light fuse to the dimmer switch and on to the dash lights. Look for a short in the tail light wiring circuit. Also check the license plate light for a short as it is on the tail light circuit also. Had a car with blown fuse, traced the circuit for tail lights and found nothing. Jumped the fuse and burned out the wiring to the tail lights. Come to find out, the short was in the license plate light. Also a bad headlight switch can cause this. Both tail light circuit and headlight circuit go through the switch. Contacts for the tail lights may be bad (defective switch common).
Why do your running lights front marker and rear marker and tail lights and dash lights and plate light stay on after the car is off key is out light switch is off 1999 Toyota Corolla ve?

Tail lights and break lights are different things pretty much all the time. You see, tail lights run all the time the car is on and break lights only turn on when the break is pressed.

The lights that flash are your break lights!
