A hot wire is shorted to ground. Nether the lights nor the radio should draw that much current. You have a wire crossed somewhere.
Has it always been like this or not? If it is, then it is not really a problem. It is how the stereo was installed. An stereo can be installed to be turned on whether the engine is on or off. If the stereo cannot be turned off at all, then you have a problem with your stereo.
Check the fuse for the instrument lights. Also there is a rheostat that is used to dim the instrument lights. If it is turned too far the lights will go out.
The light control module could be the cause of hazard lights coming on after the car is turned off. There could be a problem that has caused this module to become wet and it is now not working correctly.
Prooblem could be your starter. I had the same problem with my 91, I installed a new battery and all. Your electric system is fine, the starter probably is damaged.
On a toyota tacoma 2003 SR5 when the tail lights are turned on the brake lights come on and when the tail lights are of the brake lights work just fine what could be the problem. If the truck has a trailer plug, inspect the plug and plug wiring for damage and corrosion.
I had this problem with my 1994 Buick LeSabre and it no longer happened when I installed a new battery. It's been at least 6 months now with no recurrence of the problem. Before the new battery, I noticed that if I waited about 5 minutes after turning off the car, I could get the lights to turn off. Seemed like something had to cool down.
dead battery
If the lights in your lock buttons remain on after the truck is powered off, you may have a problem with your fuse. It the light remaining on could be because you have an electrical problem in your Ford Explorer, as well.
This is usually a grounding problem. Either an insufficient ground to the assy or a positive to ground problem. As you mention the brake lights work with the lights off, it will probably be related to a problem with the "running lights" system. As you mention only a problem with the passenger rear, I would check for a poor ground related to that light assy or possibly one of the bulbs' internal filaments in that assy touching each other. Or possibly a socket failure at that assy. Good Luck
This issue could be caused by a malfunctioning relay that fails to disengage when the parking lights are turned off. It's also possible that there could be a problem with the switch controlling the parking lights. Checking these components would be a good place to start troubleshooting the issue.
I hooked up a non stock stero now my tail lights went out I installed a new fuse but it blew...what could be the problem?
Parking lights may stay on after a BMW is turned off because the headlight is bad. A faulty relay could also cause this problem.
