May want to check your dimmer switch, too - it could just be in the off position. You could have a shorted relay if it only happens when you turn your headlights on. From the description you gave, it sounds as if the instrument cluster has come unplugged. You may be able to reach up behind the cluster and plug it back in, but usually the cluster has to be removed to access the plug.

there is a brake switch under the brake pedal that is probably bad. Call an auto parts store to find out how much they cost. I had a 98 Pontiac Montana that did the same thing, the center brake light at the top worked but the two main ones didn't. I paid maybe 7.00 for the part and it took about five minytes to change, I am a woman who knows nothing about vehicles and I changed mine myself so about anyone could probably do it

This problem could be a wide variety of problems... it might be as simple as the brake lights are blown... all you have to do then is let down the tailgate and remove the 2 Philips head screws from the side of both taillights, you should be able to rotate them slightly and take them off, the bulbs are connected and have to be twisted slightly to remove them from the taillights... if that is not the proble then you might have a cut wire, blown fuse, or even more complicated wiring problems

Chevrolet had problems with corrosion in these fixtures. Unit may have to be replaced, but check ground connection first.

You've got something wrong with your wiring, causing current to jump from the indicator circuit over into the brake light circuit.

Could the rotors be that bad after installing new front brake pads on a 2002 Chevy Blazer when you are driving and apply the brakes it pulsates?

Either warped rotors or drums can cause pulsating. Apply the parking brake slowly while going about 15mph and see if t pulsates. If it does, it is the drums that need turning. If not, it is the rotors that need turning.


What does the Mitsubishi Montero owner's manual say about the brake light indicator staying on when the emergency brake is NOT in use?

If your vehicle has separate dash panel warning lights for brakes and emergency brakes, then the e-brake light being on while not engaged may indicate that the e-brake switch may be maladjusted or faulty. If the brake warning light is on, it may indicate a brake fluid leak, or in some cases, low brake fluid levels in the reservoir. If your vehicle has a shared warning light for e-brake and brake warning, all causes listed above could apply.

In what situations is it proper to use hazard lights?

Hazard lights should only be used when your car is stopped or coming to a stop. Using them while you are actually still driving can be dangerous. Other drivers will be unable to tell if you are going to change lanes or get off the road because your turn signals or 'blinkers' will not work when your hazard lights are on.
