there was a recall on the hazard light switch that caused the rear brake lights (minus the high mount 3rd light) to stay on. the hazard lights and turn signals still worked. there was only an electrical malfuntion in the hazard lamp switch on the steering column. go to your nearest dealer, they will fix it for free and it only takes about 1/2 hour

Brake lights on 98 citroen xsara worked now don't bulbs fine?

If the brake lights on your 1998 Citroen Xsara were working and now they are not, but the bulbs are fine, the issue may be with the brake light switch. The brake light switch is a small electrical component located near the brake pedal that activates the brake lights when the pedal is pressed. It is common for these switches to fail over time, resulting in non-functional brake lights. I recommend checking the brake light switch and replacing it if necessary to restore proper brake light functionality.

The brake lights and signal lights are tied together in the signal switch, also known as the "multifunction switch".


Where is the Mazda B2300 brake light switch located?

All brake light switches are mounted directly behind the brake pedal on a bracket that holds it in place with a electrical push pin that moves in and out when the pedal is depressed.If you have no brake lights but,your tail lights work with your headlight switch on for parking lights the brake light switch needs to be either adjusted and if after this if this does not correct the issue,replace the brake light switch.Most auto zone,advance auto parts,napa will carry this part and very easy to replace.Too easy.Note make sure the bulbs are known to be good in the tail lights by looking at the elements inside and not fried (wire is not solid from left to right side in the bulb) If only one side is not working it would be the bulb,however if both are not the info above answers that.

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.

What is wrong with a 1998 Dodge Ram when the abs and brake lights are on?

Had the same problem with my 2000 Dodge, all it was was low brake fluid???? Don't know if that will help. I HAD SAME PROBLEM WAS FIXED WITH A SIMPLE FUSE REPLACEMENT FOR BRAKE LIGHTS ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT WARNING LIGHTS WILL COME ON WHEN FUSE IS BLOWN FOR BRAKELIGHTS do you still have brakes if the light are on constantly have the brake and abs relays replaced. I had the same problem on my 99 ram 1500 4X4 Another thing to consider is whether or not the speedometer works at low speeds. If it doesn't read anything until about 25 mph, check the sensor on the top of the rear differential. It should show about 750 ohms if it is good. These are a known issue on Dodge trucks and generally show as an open circuit when they are bad. It is about a 10 minute job for the diy mechanic.


Brake lights on a 2002 Gran Prix not working but the the one in the back glass is you replaced bulbs but the brake lights still do not work Would it be the brake light switch?

Nonfunctional LightsI'm not familiar with your 2002 Gran Prix, but the problem you describe is universal to all vehicles.The fact that the "third" brake light [in the rear window package tray] IS WORKING, indicates that the brake light switch IS WORKING properly!!!!!That suggests that the reason that the other two brake lights are not working is that there is an "open" condition in the wiring circuit to the other two brake lights. This is confirmed by the fact you replaced the lamps [bulbs] in those other lamp holders with known good lamps.There could be several causes for an open circuit, but the most common include:One of the connector plugs in the wiring harness to the brake lights has become disconnected, orCorrosion has built up inside of one of the connectors [one that feeds both brake lights, which will be in the circuit "ahead" [upstream] of where the wiring harness "splits" off between the two brake lights].Very remote is the possibility that the ground wires on both light assemblies has been disconnected, cut, or corroded.


Why do you have no brake lights?

The most common reason is a bulb failure. If the bulb is known working, or replacing the bulb does not cure the problem, look to the fuse, switch and wiring.

Why do brake lights stay on 2003 passat?

VW brake light switches are known to be faulty. I would have your dealer check your VIN number to see if there are any outstanding recalls for a brake light switch. Try pumping the brakes while the car is parked and see if they will go off..
