Why do the taillights remain on after the engine is turned off?
1 Answers
If the taillights remain on after the engine is turned off, it may be because the car is not locked, the brake switch is faulty, or due to other reasons. Car not locked: If the car is not locked, the vehicle is in standby mode, which is normal. Wait for a while, and it should turn off. Brake light switch failure: If the brake switch is faulty, it can also cause the taillights to remain on after the engine is turned off. It is recommended that the owner replace the brake light switch. Other situations: If only one taillight is on, there is no need to panic. This is actually the vehicle's parking light function, designed to warn passing vehicles at night. Generally, this hidden feature is activated after parking and turning off the engine by turning the turn signal to the side where the light should be on. If the turn signal lever is accidentally bumped after turning off the engine, this function may be unintentionally activated.
