How to Solve the Issue of Brake Lights Staying On After Engine Shutdown
1 Answers
Here are the solutions for brake lights staying on after engine shutdown: 1. Faulty brake switch causing the brake lights to stay on after shutdown. Solution: Replace the brake switch. When replacing, remove the protective panel above the brake pedal, locate the brake switch, unscrew it counterclockwise, and then install the new brake switch by screwing it clockwise. Finally, reinstall the protective panel properly. 2. Overly worn or aged brake pads causing the brake lights to stay on. Solution: Have a professional replace the brake pads. 3. Some vehicle models come with a parking warning light feature, where the brake lights stay on after shutdown to alert surrounding vehicles. In this case, no action is required.
