 brake lights dilemma..
My brake lights are staying on; i turn off the car/lights and they stay on. I have to disconnect my battery in order for them to turn off. Checked my fuses and all good. Could it be a sensor on the brake that is stuck on or something?

 Re: brake lights dilemma..
Yes, Brake lights (Looks like I'm driving around with my brake lights on). If the battery is connected the brake lights automatically go on and don't turn off,. and if I hit the brakes it does nothing since there stuck on

 Re: brake lights dilemma..
yup, unless you've done some electrical work lately that might've screwed up some wiring, it's probably that switch.

 Re: brake lights dilemma..
Heyy now this is a big problem for me lol it's embarrasing having to disconnet one of the terminals from your battery everytime you go in and out of your car. WALLY YOU'RE A GOOD PERSON.

 Re: brake lights dilemma..
If you haven't fixed this problem yet and tried what we told you so far, can you give us some background info on what you may have done to cause it if you were jimmying around with the electrical?
And don't start any personal attacks in here.
