Why when you turn on the headlights the tail lights brake lights and turn signals go out on 94 Plymouth sundance and when you turn head lights off the brake lights work?
I believe it's a poor ground contact possibly within the switch itself. if your car is rusty look for external ground contacts and make sure that they are on clean shiney metal. If all looks good i'd replace the switch.
How can someone know if brake lights are not working?

That warning light means a light bulb is out. Check all of your brake lights (including the brake light on the rear dash!)
Why does my 1997 grand marquis brake lights stay on?
More than likely there is a switch near the top of the brake pedal that is faulty. It usually looks like a small button that is released when you press on the brake pedal which turns on the brake lights.
How do you disable DRL or Automatic Headlights in 2000 Olds Intrigue?
I've seen forums that state that you remove the 'DRL' fuse located in the passenger fuse compartment, but there are no fuses labeled 'DRL'. I am well aware that the DRL/ Automatic headlights are a "feature", but it's irritating to neighbors when I start my car at night, and my headlights automatically turn on and shine into their windows. I know that I can turn on the parking lights to shut off the headlights, or push the parking brake in to have it start without the lights automatically coming on, but it would be simpler to just turn the lights on when i want them to turn on. The DRL's are hideous. I have silverstar 3157 bulbs and the car looks much nicer in front without those 2 big orange lights shining.

Where is the brake switch for a 1994 Acura vigor?
Follow your brake pedal up towards the steering column about 12 inches. When you press the brake you will see it comes back to rest on a part that looks like a thick threaded screw with a small black plastic cylinder that goes in and out of the end of the screw. Looks like very small spark plug. That is the Brake Switch. When you press the brake the little black cylinder pops out and turns your brake lights on. When you release the brake there is another piece of plastic on the brake pedal arm that comes to rest on the switch and turns your brake lights off. If your brake lights are staying on, the piece of plastic on the pedal arm is most likely in pieces on your floorboard, It looks like a flat disc or washer about the size of penny, width and roundness,on the brake pedal arm. You can replace it with anything about the same size. Make sure its wide enough to hit your brake switch but not so wide that it makes your brakes drag.
Where on a 1978 Jeep CJ5 do the brakes trigger the brake lights to work when the problem is that the rear turn signals work but not the brake lights?
The switch is located at the top of the steering column near the brake pedal. There is a bracket attached to the brake pedal that contacts and opens the switch when the brake is not being applied. Push on the brake the switch closes, and the lights come on. Look up the switch on Autozone.com or equivalent to see what it looks like. It's very hard to spot where it's at. Good luck Answer i believe there is a switch on the brake pedal lever near the top. I will go look on my jeep when I go back outside. Also, the brake light circuit has its own fuse separate from the signal lights.
