SOURCE: The dashboard light for the hand brake stays on

check the fluid level it's probably low. it's under the hood just above the brake booster

SOURCE: Off light is lit on backup sensor button in dash

Push on the button and see if the light goes out. It can be a simple off-on switch.

If that does not work the owners manual will have info on using your MENU function in your instrument cluster. When you get into the correct screen there will be listings of HORN alert with the remote, and AUTOlock for your doors. The backup function is just another item to select. Most likely someone was looking to reset the oil warning interval and accidently reprogrammed the menu.

SOURCE: 1979 Ford Bronco 400M engine. Tail lights work but

The brake light and the turn signal are the same bulb. Most of the time if the bulb on the dash stays on it is because a bulb is blown and thats the way it tells you.

SOURCE: backup sensor problems

easiest way withoout a scanner is
verify that all wire connectors to back of sensors are not noticable damage, if so repair
if no damage, buy one sensor and trial each one with known good one til light is functioning properly.
very common for sensors to fail, so if want to fix you will need to buy one and all are the same so you can inner change

otherwise you will need scanned to determine which sensor is faulty

hope this helps

2002 dodge intrepid the rear defrost button light is always on my car battery wouldnt stay charged so I took the defrost relay out the light is still on but my car stayed charged next day no charge

Dear Deseree,
I would like to suggest you are on the right track.
Next, try to find the fuse for the rear defroster, and try pulling that. That light may be a lit because of the "instruments" fuse, and if you pull that one, your instruments may stop working.
Fuses are both under the dashboard and also in a black plastic box under the hood of the car near a fender.
I might suggest there are 3 more common things that can cause the battery to drain.
1) a short in the alternator can cause this problem.
2) a short in the ignition switch, and
3) a short in the computer itself.
God bless your efforts.

It sure sounds like you have a case of "sneak circuits"
These are usually caused by a bad ground somewhere and something is "grounding" through the light bulbs.
Have you changed any wiring or installed a stereo or some other accessory?
You might use a jumper wire and ground the dash and other areas to the negative battery post as a way to find the culprit.

Service 4WD light illuminates on the dashboard message box

this is most commonly a electrical problem, does the speedometer read out correctly? if not it may be depending on if this is a Autotrak model, one f the two speeed sensors, or the acuator on the front diff, put the truck in 4wd, check the front dirveline to make sure it is engaing, if not your problem is in the t-case, if it does then move to the tires, if they are not engaged you have a problem with the actuator.

in most cases i have found the actuall 2wd 4wd switch to be the problem if you find that the switch is acting slow or you need to select the gear a few times before it shifts, then replace it these are very faulty

94 accord ex 5spd problems with speedo.&dash lights

there are two reasonable explanations for this:
vehicle speed sensor is faulty and speedo cable is faulty and bulbs for illumination or illumination switch is faulty but I would lean with all of those its your gauge cluster
or gauge cluster itself has gone out both of these arent that expensive heres some places where you can get cheap replacements
