They're on a different circuit. The parking and dash lights go through the headlight switch. It could be the switch, a bad wire/connector or a burned fuse.
If you pull the parking brake up the running lights will go off - if not - start the car with the parking brake on and that should work, if you want to drive with the running lights off - you can get away with "slightly" putting the parking brake on (just so the parking brake light goes on in the dash but the brakes itself makes no contact) Otherwise you can remove the relay that controls the daytimes - maybe even a fuse
It might be the brake lights. If it is, check the brake light switch connected to the brake pedal. It's right above the pedal and if it's slipped or adjusted wrong the light could stay on all the time. A brake light switch that is stuck like that can also prevent cruise control from working. On the other hand, if it's the WHITE light, it's probably the backup light switch that's stuck or adjusted bad. If it really is the parking lights, the fronts should be on as well.
Is it when the ignition lights on the brake lights are stuck on? If so adjust the brake light switch at the pedal.hope this helps Answer: Its the park lights. The vehicle is probably in park.
just as the name it makes the brake lights come on when u press on the brake pedal
If by 'controller' you mean the switch that makes the brake lights come on, it is not in the trunk. It is located underneath the dashboard, next to the brake pedal.
There is a brake light switch or stoplight switch that may be bad on the brake pedal up top.
Check the switch at the brake pedal, it is what makes the brakes come on, it may be malfunctioning.
Improper resistors.
Under the brake pedal is a brake light switch that when you press the pedal it hits it and makes your lights come on..sometimes when they get weak the pedal depresses them simply from the weight of the pedal and they stay on..Have a friend get inside the truck and pull UP on the brake pedal as you look at the lights..if the brake lights go off when they pull up on it..then it is that switch under the brake pedal
Most often cause is a stuck brake cylinder that has rusted into either open or closed position
When your foot puts pressure on the brake pedal there is a switch that relays the brake pedal being pushed to the lights which makes them turn on.
On the 1979 B200 Sportsman V8 if the brake pedal makes all signal lights come on and hazards and flashers do not work on their own, it could be the flasher, but the culprit could also be a burned out bulb or a short in the wiring.
