What causes the brake lights to stay on and not turn off?
1 Answers
Brake lights staying on and not turning off are usually caused by a malfunction in the brake switch. Below is relevant information about automotive brake lights: 1. Working principle: Brake lights are a crucial component of rear lights, positioned on both left and right sides of the rear light assembly. The red light they emit serves as a warning signal, illuminating when the brakes are applied (including the handbrake). 2. Function: Brake lights alert following vehicles that the car is slowing down or stopping, allowing them to prepare in advance and take evasive action. Modern brake lights are typically fog lights, capable of penetrating thick fog to provide better warning effectiveness.
