Tail Lights & Brake Lights stay on even when car is turn off

are you sure its the tail lights and not the brake lights. if its the brake lite check your brake light switch located ( probably ) behind or on top of the brake peddle

Are you sure it is the tail lights, or could it be the brake lights? If it is the tail lights, the light switch should be replaced. If it is the brake lights, there is a switch operated by the brake pedal whitch could be stuck or otherwise inoperative and should be replaced.

firstly you need to make sure that they are the tail lights & not the brake lights I find it strange if it is the tail lights as the tail & parking lights are on the same circuit & they should all stay on, but if it is the stop lights(brake lights) it could be that the brake light switch is faulty & needs to be replaced or it may have come loose & needs to be adjusted.......hope this helps......cheers.

COULD HAVE FAULTY BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH OR BAD GROUND WIRE AT BRAKE LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS.

Sounds like your brake switch may be bad.

If you put your foot on the brake, the tail lights and parking lights will still come on. Possibly your brake is sticking. Check to see if it is and if it is put WD40 for a quick fix. See a tech for them to fix your brake alignment. Good Luck!

check the brake light switch. its on the top of the brake pedal.

it may have fallen out of its holder, or has failed.

you know you use the brakes over 200 times a day in normal driving.

check fuses

Hi, are the tail lights and the brake lights in the same light unit?
If so, there is a possibility the bulbs are in the wrong way. If it is a stop/tail bulb then there are two locating pegs on the side of the metal part. If you look, one is higher than the other which has to locate into the correct slot in the holder.

Another possibility is the bulb is wrong, there are double and single contacts. Check the contact on the base of the bulb is the same as the contacts in the holder.

Is it your tail lights or Brake lights? My 88 Couger had a brake switch that went bad and the Brake Lights stayed on.
