How to Deal with the 2021 Levin Taillights Staying On?

When the rear taillights of the car are on, it indicates that the brakes are applied, and they usually turn off when the engine is shut down. If the car is not locked, the lights will remain on. If the brake light is broken and does not turn off, you should go to a 4S shop to replace the brake light as soon as possible.
I also encountered taillight issues with my 2021 Levin before, which made night driving particularly nerve-wracking. The inspection revealed a blown fuse in the small box under the steering wheel. If the entire LED taillight isn't working, it might be due to loose wiring connections or water-induced short circuits, requiring removal of the trunk trim panel to inspect. I suggest first trying to press and hold the remote lock button for about ten seconds to reset the computer system. If that doesn't work, disconnect the battery for a minute to reboot the vehicle's computer. If the problem persists, immediately visit the 4S shop to check the control module. The Levin's system is complex, and forcibly dismantling it yourself could damage the wiring harness, leading to greater losses.
Last week, I helped my neighbor fix a taillight issue on their 2021 Levin and found three common root causes for this generation of cars: a stuck brake light switch can cause the lights to stay on constantly; wiring in the trunk can get crushed by heavy items, leading to short circuits; and improperly installed backup camera wiring can also cause interference. If you're handling it yourself, start by repeatedly pressing the brake pedal to check if the relay sounds normal, then inspect the rear of the car for any burnt smells. If the dashboard shows no error messages, it's likely that water seepage into the taillight housing has corroded the circuit board—buying a set of waterproof seals from Taobao for thirty yuan should fix it. Of course, this assumes the bulb itself hasn’t burned out and turned black.
As a veteran driver who frequently takes long trips, the worst fear is having taillights fail at night. If both taillights on the 2021 Levin stop working simultaneously, there's a 90% chance it's the BCM (Body Control Module) malfunctioning, and you must use a diagnostic tool to read the fault codes. If only one side fails, it's much simpler: open the trunk, unclip the light assembly, and check the connector for burn marks. Remember to wear gloves when replacing bulbs, as finger oils on the LED chips can shorten their lifespan. If the lights stay on constantly, it's usually due to a faulty trunk lock sensor misinterpreting the trunk as open and triggering the lighting. Don't believe in the method of pulling fuses—it might trigger the tire pressure warning.
