How to Turn Off the Tail Lights That Stay On After the Engine is Off?
1 Answers
If the tail lights remain on and cannot be turned off after the engine is off, the reason could be a short circuit in the brake switch, which requires replacing the brake switch. If it's not a fault with the car's brake light switch, then it might be an issue with the car's electrical circuit. Below is a related introduction to car tail lights: 1. Brake Lights: The left and right brake lights are important components of the rear lights, positioned one on each side of the rear lights. They are red, as red signifies a warning. The brake lights illuminate when the brake is pressed (including the handbrake). Brake lights alert the vehicles behind that your car is slowing down or stopping, allowing them to prepare in advance. Nowadays, brake lights are typically fog lights, capable of penetrating thick fog. 2. Reverse Lights: Reverse lights automatically turn on when the driver shifts into reverse gear, primarily serving as a warning and providing illumination at night. 3. Reflectors/Reflective Strips: Located within the rear lights, they serve a reflective purpose. When light from a vehicle behind shines on them, regardless of the direction, it is reflected back, alerting the driver behind. 4. Rear Turn Signals: Positioned within the rear lights, they flash to indicate the car's turning direction. Their color is amber.
