I need some help please I have already replaced the brakelight switch and the column multi function switch and the rear brake lights still will not shut off. I traced all the wire and have not found any broken or abraided lines. what else could have short to make them stay on the center brake light on the cab is the only one that is not on. I disconnected the brakelight swith and they are still activated ....please help..I dont need another stupid ticket this week.

Taillights but no top stop...??? hymmm, doesnt sound like a brake switch, did you break or mess with the hazard / 4 way switch?? if you put them on do they blink or stay lit??

Yes they do stay on I bought a new well multi function switch because I thought it was the hazard switch causing the problem. I do not know what else unless there is something in the abs system for a wire crossed some where I am really frustrated with this.

i had a problem on my old ranchero with the brake lights staying on, turns out the pedal was just resting against the brake light switch in the floor, and all i had to do was pull on it a lil bit, i guess it couldnt hurt to give that a try.

Check The Wiring thats goes from the fire wall to the fuse relay center. i hit the wire cluster with my tire and that caused my brake lights to stay on.

My break lights are staying on. I have taken out fueses and the only ones that makes a difference is when I take the turn signal fuese out. I have changed the break switch and the hazard won't work. I think it is the turn signal. The new switch is $170.00. I am going to take apart tomorrow and see if I can check. I will let all know.

check you bulbs in the back. If you keep your foot on the brakes for long periods of time, the contacts in the bulbs will melt and make contact with the park light side of the bulb. disable your DRL and see if the brake lights go out. Also check the grounds at the back of the truck. the tail lights will do all kinds of weird stuff if the ground's not good

what about adjusting the brake light switch into its proper distance from the brake pedal? you guys make sure that is correct?

Anyone ever come up with anything? Mine is doing this now. Normally I just mash the break pedal a few times and turn the lights on and off like I am sending a secret code. After a few tries this works and they go out. This doesn't happen all the time. Just once in a while.
