My brake lights will not go out i have to disconnect my battery to turn them off even while the car is not being driven what can i do about this problem?
Hi
The problem would be the brake light switch located on brake pedal.
In most cases this would indicate a defective brake light switch.
My experience with this come from a 2001 ford windstar which would work well most times but every now and then would run the battery dead. Due to the higher cost of replacement switch I discovered function / actuation mode of the same switch did some adjustments and fixed it. Same switch now working perfectly with no relapse for over one year.
If you are sure the brake pedal is returning all the way up then it is more than likely the switch. Do not be afraid to give it a look to see if you can correct the problem with some minor adjustments.
If i remember correctly a good strong sharp utility knife was used when I fixed mine, be careful not to cut yourself!!
where would the brake light switch be located on the 1999 jeep grand cherokee ?
