It sounds like a problem with your brake light switch that is mounted on the metal arm of your brake pedal under your dash. I'm not a mechanic but I've wondered if the brake fluid level is low in the master cylinder in the engine compartment, does that allow the brake pedal to drop enough to allow the switch to turn on the brake lights ? I know that if I get my head down near the brake pedal, and push the pedal with my hand I can hear a loud click noise when the brake lights come on.
Do your lights stay on? On my 2005, the lights go automatically off when the ignition is shut off.
If the Explorer is running engaging the parking brake is supposed to turn the daytime running lights off , otherwise the daytime running lights are supposed to shut off when the engine is shut off . I have a 2004, Eddie Bauer Explorer. On the light switch itself, there is a selection to turn on or off the day lights, as well as the extended, courtesy lights after ignition is turned off.
They should turn off when the ignition is turned off and the key removed.
your alarm system seems to me to be malfunctioning.
You don't; your local VW dealer does. ;)
check the ignition switch under the console on the steering column
The dash lights on an Explorer are used to light the warning symbols and to illuminate the speedometer, gas gauge, and RPM gauge. These lights are controlled by fuses.
I'm not a mechanic, but I believe the GEM (generic electronic module) controls the operation of the warning lights and chimes, among other things on your Explorer. It should be located in the centre stack area of your dash, either to the left or behind your radio, visible when the radio is removed. It has plug in wiring harnesses connected to it.
Head lights on?
Yes, the ignition on a trailblazer can cause head lights to work improperly.
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.
Where is the fuse located that controls the inside dash lights on a 1993 Ford Explorer
