1966 mustang sequential turn/tail/brake lights/signals are ALIVE!

I installed a set of scott drake sequential tail lights back in february following the instructions very carefully. Everything worked fine, but now all of a sudden one day when I turned the car off the brake lights were still on. not the tail lights, it was like i was stepping on the brakes and the car was off key was out, e brake wasn't set either. put the key back in and started the car, problem persists, and when the car idles the right rear turn signal flashes even though the siganal switch inside is not activated. i'd normally call my dad and ask for some good old advice but he passed from cancer two years ago just before my second tour in iraq. if anyone has some advice that could help PLEASE get back to me asap!! thanks, this is my daily driver and i cannot afford a ticket at this point

Recheck ALL the wiring, check the brake light switch and signal switch. Either on could have gone bad due to its age. Them suspect the controller for the lights. What do the 4 ways do? I think I would be suspecting the signal switch.

Brake lights turn signal not working on drivers side

check the wire loom from the boot to under the back seats, I have herd over time the back seat can cut the wiring loom as the metal in the back seat can cut the wires. saw this on a classic cars site a few years ago. you will need to fix the wires back and reseal the wires with sealing tape. also make sure the wiring is back out of the way for the seat.

Turn signal tail lights and BRAKE LIGHTS NOT WORKING


It can be faulty brake light switch causing the problem or its blown brake light bulb. First check and confirm brake light lamp is working and that's not the case.

For turn signal not working it can be faulty turn signal switch or its issue with wiring:----

The drake light on top of my truck works but the brake lights on the tail do not. also my signal lights do not work

you need to check all the fuses,if they are ok you probably have a shorted brake switch and a shorted turn signal switch,or just a shorted turn signal switch.

2005 mustang right turn signal wont work but bulb lights when lights are on. When signal is on only the first bulb blinks (and twice as fast as left signal) and second signal bulb doesn't work at all.

Replace the bulb(s). Tail light bulbs have more than one filament. One is for the brakes and one is for the turn signals. The reverse light is a light all by itself. When the filament for the turn signal goes out the brakes will still all light up, but the turn signal will not.

Bracke lights out

Even though it's one blub, some have more then one filament that can go bad. And if you haven't tested the brake light switch yet, test at rear lights. If it works there, you know from that point forward all works. If not, then you jump to the brake switch and test there. This way you narrow down your problems little by little.
