Located on the brake pedal arm, sometimes under the dash, there is a brake light switch. This switch is moveable, and sounds like it's out of adjustment. (Generally you hold the pedal up. and push the switch, it will click as you move it, or some just use a jamb nut)

Then that means that ur pedal is sticking for some reason. my guess would be that ur low on brake fluid or maybe u have air in ur brake lines. but thats just a guess, sense i cant look at the car

The switch located on the brake pedal under dash is not adjusted properly or probably stripped it is plastic and has a button that has to come into contact with the pedal when released to turn off brake lights

My 2000 Forester tail lights wont go off unless I pull the fuse out of the fuse box. It runs down the battery if I leave the fuse in.

That most likely is the brake lights staying on because the brake light switch under dash is out of adjustment and the brake pedal is not touching the button to shut it off. Possibly the spring is disconnected that pulls the pedal up against the brake light switch button. Check this out.

Brake lights wont shut off 2007 impala

The brake switch itself should be adjustable. Ones I know of can be screwed or moved in or out for proper adjustment. If not, is it possible you have a weak brake pedal spring? But, nah, not on an '07, I wouldn't think. If the switch is not adjustable, check closely the brake pedal for something not quite right. Good luck.

My back lights on my 97 honda accord will not turn off

There is a problem with the brake switch. look under the dash at the brake pedal. follow the arm the pedal is attached to and about 8 - 10 inches above it is a box with a botton that is pressed when the brake pedal is all the way back(off). in other words, when you let off the brakes, the button is pressed which turns off the brake lights. see if that box has moved and if the pedal is still pushing that button on it in far enough to shut off the brake lights. try pulling the brake pedal back by hand and see if they shut off. Hope that helps.

The brake lights on my 2002 Mountainer will not go off

If your brake lights will not turn off, check it this way-Pull UP on the brake pedal. If the lights go off, you need to adjust the stop light switch, which is mounted on the upper brake pedal (it has an electrical plug in attached to it)

I replaced the brake light switch and wont shut off

Pull UP on the brake pedal while someone watches the brake lights. If they go off (they should), you need to check the adjustment. It should be adjustable to make contact when the pedal is slightly depressed.

Had to pull fuse # 23 brake switch to get the back lights to shut

If it's the brake lights, you may need to adjust your stoplight switch under the brake pedal bracket. If it's the taillights, then you will need to trace and diagnose it. Which lights are staying on and which circuit does fuse #23 operate?

Thanks,

Kevin

2003 aviator brake lights wont shut off

There is a switch located on the brake pedal up under the dash.When you depress the pedal, the pedal arm allows a push-button to extend out, making electrical contact and illuminating the lights. Sometimes this will work its way out of adjustment, allowing the lights to stay on.

2003 Nissan Sentra Brake lights stay on

When you depress the brake pedal, the brake pedal will move away from the brake light switch and cause a close circuit and the brake lamps light up. There is a rubber bunk on the pedal which pushes against the brake light switch to shut it off when you release the brake pedal. Most likely this rubber bunk has either fallen off or disintegrated leaving a hole in the brake pedal so there is nothing to push against the switch to shut it off. Look up the brake pedal until you see the brake light switch, then depress the brake pedal to see if the rubber bunk is still there. It is easy to replace. Or you can use some double sided adhesive tape and a coin and stick the coin over the hole in the brake pedal.
