wire shortage!
Brake light switch is broken or out of adjustment.
If parking lights stay on after the car is turned off on a 2001 Hyundai Elantra than the brake switch is malfunctioning. The brake switch turns off when pressed in and if it does not work the lights of the vehicle will stay on.
well, people don't want to hit your car, and you don't either
Assuming you have the lights turned off, you are seeing the brake lights. They are more than likely on because the brake light switch is defective or out of adjustment.
Probably a bad or mis-adjusted brake light switch
In my experience, when brake lights remained on even after stopping and shutting off the car.....many times it was the brake stoplight switch, usually located on the brake pedal arm up above the pedal.
My Brake tail Lights Stay on when my car is complete turned off and my lights are off to.
There is a bushing that the brake light switch rest against when the brake pedal is not depressed. They are known to break. You can get a replacement bushing from any Honda dealer for around $5.00. Just tell them your brake lights stay on all the time and they will know what to give you.
if you leave the parking lights switch "ON" the lights will remain on, even if the car has been turned off.
There is a switch on top of the steering column dead center. You must have accidently turned it on. It's a parking light.
The brake lights will stay on if the switch is either out of adjustment or damaged. Pull up on the brake pedal to see if it will go out, if it does, you might be able to get by just adjusting the position of the brake light switch. BTW, it's on the brake pedal mechanism, under the dashboard.
What causes the dashboard light to stay on after your car has been turned off? 1994 Buick Century.
If the brake lights stay on when the car is not running on most vehicles, including the 1994 Dodge Intrepid, there is probably a short somewhere in the wiring to the brake lights. The first place to investigate this problem would be the wires along the firewall that control the brake lights. Also, check the brake light switch above the brake pedal.
