I have a 2000 Galant and it seems that whenever I drive at night, my brake lights stay lit as if I were braking. When I accelerate from a stop, the lights don't dim like they're suppose to and just stay bright along with the third brake light in the rear window. This only happens when I have the light switch on for night driving, but during the day the brake taillights work fine and light up when braking and off when accelerating (With the light switch off of course).
I'm a lil scared to drive in the highway at night because the car behind me might not know if I'm stopping or not. Is this the switch or a ground somewhere maybe?
IMO, sounds like a bad switch/relay. if it's a switch, what could be happening is that it's not opening enough or at all and the voltage is still jumping the gap. if it's a relay, then either the coil in the relay went out or it's staying fully energized. my guess is it is a bad switch.
Sounds like a ground
but if it was a bad ground, wouldn't they never come on or flicker? just asking
Yeah, a bad ground makes no sense to me either. The circuit is closed on the positive side, the ground always has continuity.Originally Posted by fliegendaffe
*cheers he got something right* lol:smt109:D:smt109
hmm i got the same thing but only on my right taillight
Single filament bulbs instead of dual? Then your riding lights would be lit like brake lights all the time.
