Q: Brake lights on constantly
Brake lights are staying on all the time. With ignition off and on. Third brake light not working. When it happened I assumed it was the brake switch and changed it. They were still on. Unplugged harness at abs module and still on. Checked fuses and fuse for brake switch/cab brake light was blown. Changed fuse and lights functioned normally. Fuse blew again and lights stay on. Changed fuse and they worked for 4 pumps on pedal and blew fuse again and theven lights stay on. They shut off after 10 minutes or so when it sits with ignition off.
