Happened to pop into my garage tonight and notice my brake lights on my 04 GLX won't turn off. I checked to make sure I didn't leave the main lights on or anything else I can think of. The only way I could get the lights to stay of was to pull fuse 13.
View 8 RepliesMy brake lights are staying on all the time. I changed my brake light switch. This did not work. I took it to the dealer and they could not figure out what was causing this. They felt it could be a wire which might take them 10 hours to trace down @ $95 an hour. I don't understand how a wire could do this.

View 6 RepliesMy son's 08 1500 2WD truck has had problems with the cruise control not working correctly. Think I found out why, was following him today, and his brake lights came on. He was on an open road, no traffic, so I called him and asked if he was riding the brake with his left foot. He said No. Told him what I saw, and when he came to a red light, I told him to stab the brake 2 or 3 times, then let up. No change, brake lights stayed lit. He pulled into a lot, and unplugged the connector on the brake pedal arm. Then he turned on the key, brake lights were still on. Connector has 4 wires, I guessed one circuit for brake lights, one for cruise? Or is one for the transmission interlock solenoid that prevents shifting out of Park until you press the brake pedal? Getting ready to go check things with a voltmeter.
View 6 RepliesI have a 2012 Sonata for 4 years. In the past year I've experienced the ABS, Brake, TC lights staying on. Then had a bad battery and a headlight go out. Got all that done but after 4 months on new battery, it failed, and the 3 lights came on again. According to codes, dealer says the issue is a valve and they cannot give an estimate for repair but to tear down the valve and probe to find it, will cost me $132. That doesn't set well with me so I elected to drive on with lights on. They did say the battery & headlight issues were not related to the 3 lights staying on.
View 1 RepliesI have a 2000 Silverado 1500 4X4 extended cab with short box with a 5.3L. A couple weeks ago I noticed that my brake lights were staying on all the time. I removed the fuses for the trailer left and right lights and the brake lights went out. due to the holidays I haven't had time to find out why the lights were staying on.
Today I noticed that my 3rd brake light was staying on all the time, even with the truck off, and no one in the truck, and my electric brake controller inside the cab was on. I unplugged the controller from the fuse panel and the controller light went out but the 3rd brake light was still on. I couldn't find a fuse, so I removed the bulbs. Where I would start to find the problem.
I just bought a 2001 1.8t passat and the emergency brake the other day stopped working. The button is pushed in all the way and will not come back out, so it does not click when the brake lever is pulled up and will come back down when let go of. The brakes do work when the lever is pulled however. Also, keeping the car in 1st gear while parked is alright? Even on a hill?

View 2 RepliesI would like to buy a 99 B5, with a 2.8 V6 30V 5 speed GLX. The car is running smooth, accelerates well, but there is a fault with the ABS/BRAKE system. When the car starts up, the ABS and the BRAKE warning lamps are staying on, and the central display says "STOP", "BREMSEN FEHLER", "BERTIEBS ANLEITUNG".
Can I find out the system fault from these messages, or should I get the codes? Does it mean that not just the ABS system is faulty but there is something wrong with the brakes too? I did a test drive, and put on the brakes hardly, and the car stopped well.
And there is an other question..the cluster shows the info in "euro mode" (km, l/100km, german language, etc). I would like to see the info in english, and MPG's and miles, so how can I set back to "US mode"?
When I hook a trailer to my '04 F-250 the parking lights stay on. The lights on the truck are not on. I pulled the fuse for the towing lights and they will go out. Pulled what I believe to be the relay according to the owners manual and they still stay on. I have to unplug the trailer every time I stop for any period of time.
View 3 RepliesThe brake lights stay on when I turn the lights on. If the light switch is off they work fine. Is this a brake switch? Or something else.....
View 3 Repliesi have the brake (!) the ABS and the VSC lit up after i got new bearings and new brake pads and rotors, the car was also stalling before the mechanic removed these bearing "dust cover" circles that must have been causing speed sensor interfernce bc the spedometer was stuck on 0....so the car seems to be done stalling after those were removed and all the big lights went off then i hit the brakes a few miles later and those three lights came on...
View 2 RepliesI recently noticed that my brake lights will not go out. I thought it was the brake switch, so I replaced that, but no luck. I have not replaced any bulbs recently. I checked all fuses. I disconnected the battery to try to reset something. Nothing has worked.
View 6 RepliesWhat could cause both the ASR and ABS lights to stay on? I thought it had something to do with the crank sensor, because a few things i have seen said that was one of the fixes, but I just put a new crank sensor in, but the lights are still on? 03 GTI 1.8t AWP.

View 2 RepliesI installed aftermarket fog lights and tapped into cigarette lighter fuse. fog lights occasionally stay on even after key is removed. Which fuse will guarantee that the lights will be off with the key removed?
View 8 RepliesAny setting that would cause it. Light switch in auto position. Parked Tig at night. Coming home lights were on. When I came out an hour later they were still on. Tried a number of things to turn them off but no luck. Next day in daylight, after I boosted my battery, the coming home lights were off. This was on a 2009 Tig that I was test driving and am thinking of purchasing. It is currently back at the car dealer to be checked out, along with a few other issues that need to be addressed. Hoping it is not a sign of bigger problems.
