There is a push off switch under the dash that when the break pedal is depressed is activated. Look for it and replace it. Most of the time it is not the switch what is broken but a rubber part on the pedal level that is responsible for pushing the switch to the off position.
brake lite switch will keep it in park
It's probably your brake lights, not your brakes.
If you have a manual gearbox you should use neutral AND foot brake at traffic lights. If you have automatic you can leave it in Drive with your foot firmly on the foot brake. (Some instructors would tell you to move it to neutral and keep your foot on the foot brake.)
Be sure to keep the rear tail lights, brake lights and signal lights in good working order. To many times you see vehicles with lights missing.
Are you sure it is your running lights & not just the brake lights? A bad brake light switch (common problem) will cause your brake lights to stay on all the time because they are not wired to the accessory switch, meaning they will work whether the truck is on or off. Hope this helps!
The brakelight switch, wiring, bulb holder(s) or bulb is shorting out.
Having trouble starting my 93 corolla it has battery power lights come on but it just makes a clicking sound and when I keep trying the starter kicks over verry slow what part do I have to change
brake warning light on can mean your handbrake is engaged or that brake fuild is low. Those would be the first two easy things to check. If your brake fluid is low, you will need to keep a close eye on that, as you may have a leak and that can lead to a loss of your brakes.
There's got to be a break in the system somewhere. Take your test light and start with the brake light switch (on the brake pedal) and keep working your way along the system until you locate the problem.
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.
Just pull the parking brake up one click. It won't engage the brake, but it bypasses the headlights.
AnswerTry checking your fuse for your tail lights in your fuse box if that doesnt work try check for a short in your wiringAnswerI noticed on my 1990 did the same. Also found out it only happens when the TILT wheel is completely down. Try lifting the tilt wheel up and down with someone watching your brake lights. Have not pinned down the source in the column yet, but will keep looking!!!The brake light switch is probably the problem. My '91 had the opposite - the brake lights worked but the 3rd light did not. The brake light switch has 2 terminals - one for brake lights and one for the 3rd brake light. Replace the switch.
