that happens to me ones and that was because the pedal of the brake has a litle rover piece that push a switch, i replace it and that fix the problem!
If your referring to tail lights just turn off your headlights and they will turn off. If your referring to break lights take your foot of the break pedal.
Have you tried looking in the trunk yet? yes!!!!! on the trunk portion of the lights i think there is a bolt hiding but i cannot find it!!! Thanks for the waste of time>..
Most likely your combination headlight and turn signal switch is bad.
If the headlights are on and brake lights work but not the tail lights, it is possible there is a short in the electrical wires. Another cause for this could be that the tail light bulbs are burned out. Most vehicles have more than one bulb inside the tail lights to control different lights at the same time.
Brake lights and tail lights. (Unless you have a spotter telling you of course)
Tail lights and break lights are different things pretty much all the time. You see, tail lights run all the time the car is on and break lights only turn on when the break is pressed. If you would like to find out which lights are the breaklights, have a friend watch the back of the car, turn it on, push the breaks a few times and see which lights flash. The lights that flash are your break lights!
First, check the tail lights. Turn on the headlights and see if the tail lights come on at the same time. If the tail lights come on but the dash lights don't, it's probably either the switch or the bulbs. If NEITHER come on, it could be the switch, the fuse and of course, still the bulbs.
My '88 Prelude Si 4WS had a short in the steering column. My "guys" pulled wires to a toggle switch that they free-placed in the coin tray. It gets hot . . . But, the running lights/brake lights work independently of the headlights!
You do not need the key in the ignition to make lights work. They are "hot" all the time. The reason you Sid marker lights are coming on at the same time is because you have a bad ground in one of your brake lights. It's allowing electricity to jump from the brake lights to the tail light circuit. Take the brake lights apart, clean up all the rust and make sure they "ground" to bare metal. Problem cured.
check your car for recall...I know there is one for rear tail ligts.
From my Experience most of the time its a fuse that is blown. The dashboard and tail lights run off the same fuse
probably the switch stuck on. pull out fuse in mean time
